The plasma membrane prevents all potassium ions from leaking out but allows all sodium ions to cross into the cell from the extr

acellular fluid.True / False.
Biology
1 answer:
ladessa [460]3 years ago

Answer: FALSE

Explanation:

The plasma membrane has both Na –K channels across it walls. They are membrane transport proteins which hydrolyse ATP s for the active transport  mechanisms  for   transport of sodium and potassium ions across the  plasma membranes .

Naturally,there are more potassium ion channels than sodium channels in plasma membrane; potassium is also extracellular while sodium is extracellular

Therefore ,when  some potassium ions diffused into the Axoplasm,  from the extracellular medium;;some potassium  ions still move out BACK  into  the extracellular environments. Not all potassium are restricted from leaving .

This leakage occurs because of more available potassium ions channels  than sodium ions, and higher number of  available  potassium ions

Thus the answer is FALSE

the ratio of diffusion <u>is 3 sodium  out to 2 potassium in </u>

Lina20 [59]
It is important for scientists to remain open minded about information that they come across in their experiments, so that they do not become biased about the result. it can always happen that the results that come out are contrary to what the scientist expected. It is important to openly accept that the scientists prediction was wrong.

The average conversion energy from producers to primary consumers is a. 1% b. 10% C. 50% d. 100%​
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

The average conversion energy from producers to primary consumers is b. 10%.

Explanation:

This percentage actually holds true for all transfer of energy at any trophic level in the food chain. Majority of the energy loss can be attributed to metabolic processes that give off heat and other forms of energy. It is important to note that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, it is simply transformed from one form to another.

Double fertilization results in the formation of select one:
wariber [46]
Double fertilization results in the formation of  one diploid embryo and a triploid endosperm. Double fertilization is characterized by the formation of two embryos; the embryo proper which is diploid and the fusion product of the central cell with one male gamete which is triploid. This secondary triploid zygote develops into the endosperm.
