<h2>Answer:</h2>

There two features which facilitates bird <u>to fly are presence of light and smooth feathers and light bones</u>.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Birds are the only living creatures which has the ability to migrate from one place to another through flying. There are many physical features present in their body which facilitates them in flying.

<u>Among the two features and their role in flying are as follows: </u>

Light and smooth feathers: Wings are the organ which is involved in flying. It is composed of feathers which are very colorful and are light in weight and smooth in its appearance. This apart from reducing the body weight helps the bird to reduce the force and drag during flying.
Light bones: The skeletal system of the birds is composed of light bone which are primarily hollow with air sacs. This accounts for less body weight while flying.

In a two-compartment model of a cell with a K - and Cl --permeable membrane and a 10-fold excess of KCl in the inside compartmen

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

When the solutions (including inside and outside) were replaced by NaCl, the membrane potential changes from a negative value of -60 mV to a positive value of + 60 mV.

Explanation:

According to the Nernst equation the potential of the membrane for a two-compartment model of a cell for positive gradient of K⁺ ions is V = - 60 mVlogK'/K where K' = inside concentration of K⁺ ions and K = outside concentration of K⁺ ions. For a 10 fold excess of KCl in the inside compartment, K'/K = 10. So,

V = - 60 mVlogK'/K = - 60 mVlog10 = -60 mV.

For a negative gradient of Na ions is V = + 60 mVlogK'/K where K' = inside concentration of Na⁺ ions and K = outside concentration of Na⁺ ions. (Since the cell is selectively permeable to Na⁺ ions. So, Na ions to not flow out but in.)For a 10 fold excess of NaCl in the inside compartment, K'/K = 10. So,

V = + 60 mVlogK'/K = + 60 mVlog10 = +60 mV.

So, when the solutions (including inside and outside) were replaced by NaCl, the membrane potential changes from a negative value of -60 mV to a positive value of + 60 mV.

Prokaryotes and eukaryotes are similar in all of these aspects except

Leya [2.2K]

Their difference is that Eukaryotes posses nucleus & nuclear bound organelles whereas prokaryotes doesn't!

Hope this helps!
