Answer:

In biology, a molecular clock can be described as a method to determine the time for the divergence of species which occurred by the process of evolution.

Explanation:

The mutation rates of different molecules are used in this method. The mutation rates for DNA sequences and amino acid sequences are usually considered. The molecular clock can be used to compare and estimate the splitting of a lineage. For example, by this method, one can interpret when the chimpanzees and humans diverged from each other.

Hope this helped!

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Net membrane potential is equal to the difference of positive charge and negative charge existing at the inner and outer side of the cell respectively. Since outer negative charge is higher in concentration, the net membrane potential is negative

Explanation:

The cell membrane potential defined as the net difference of ion concentration existing at the inner and outer side of a cell membrane at nay instance.  

When the cell is at the resting potential, the positive potassium ion starts accumulating at the inner surface of the cell membrane as it becomes favors positive potassium ion. This leads to development of negative potential at the outer side of cell membrane by the accumulation of negative ions or charges. Hence, a net negative potential membrane develops.

timofeeve [1]
<span>Mark may be getting lower amounts of nutrients and vitamins, namely omega-3s and omega-6s. This would directly affect the brain and normal body functions because the body needs vitamins/nutrients to thrive. This could affect the chemical balance in his brain, resulting in depression/schizophrenia/other issues, including eating disorders. Cutting down on fats might also result in overeating carbs and protein, which leads to an overbalance of nutrients -- and a host of other health issues.Not getting enough fat could also affect bone growth.</span>
