Answer:

(b) Voltage gated

Explanation:

The cell membrane acts as a barrier that separates two aqueous media of different composition, the extracellular and the intracellular, regulating its composition. Most of the liposoluble drugs and solutes, when not ionized, directly cross the cell membrane through a passive diffusion process, which facilitates the passage of the medium where it is more concentrated to the one that is more diluted. The difference in concentration between the two media is called the concentration gradient, and diffusion will continue until this gradient is eliminated. According to Fick's law, the speed of this process will be much faster the higher the concentration gradient and the liposolubility of the molecule and the smaller its size.

More hydrophilic molecules, such as ions, are immiscible in membrane lipids and pass through specific specific transport mechanisms. In some cases, ions pass through hydrophilic pores called ion channels, and in others a favor of their concentration gradient is transported by binding to the transporter or transporter proteins. Both transport systems are passive and therefore do not consume energy. The great advantage is that the ion channels allow the flow of ions through a much higher speed than that of any other biological system. The flow of ions through each channel can be measured as an electric current, which is capable of producing rapid changes in membrane potential.

What would make it clear that a recessive trait is carried on the x chromosome in humans?
babymother [125]

The recessive traits located on the X-chromosome of humans are always expressed in males e.g. color blindness is a recessive sex-linked trait in which the eye fails to distinguish red and green colors. The gene for the traditional vision is dominant. the traditional gene and its recessive allele are carried by X-chromosomes.

What is a recessive trait?

An inherited trait is outwardly obvious only two copies of the gene for that trait are present—as opposed to a dominant trait where one copy of the gene for the dominant trait is sufficient to display the trait.

A chemical has been found to harm the same components in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Which components are those?
Musya8 [376]

The correct answer is A. DNA cell membrane, cytoplasm, and ribosomes.

Both eukaryotes and prokaryotes they have basic features which are cytoplasm and cell membrane.

Prokaryotic cells they don't have nucleus while eukaryotic cells nucleus are present.

Eukaryotic cells they contain many membrane which are enclosed in an organelles. For example, Golgi apparatus, lysosome, and mitochondria.

In prokaryote they don't have membrane which is enclosed to them.

What is adaptation in animals and plants
Lerok [7]
Adaptation is when a plant or animal make modifications to their body to survive in an altered environment. For example, the snow foxes' fur changes depending on the seasons. Another example would be blueberries. They develop thorns in order to protect the berries the plant grows.
Pretty much all plants adapt. If you pay attention, when you put a plant next to the window, and when there's no sunlight shining on it, you should notice that it will start to lean toward the sun.
Hope I helped!
