Answer:

The neurons are unable to repolarize.

Explanation:

The cell membrane potential remain negative at the resting membrane potential. The potassium channels maintains the negative voltage inside the cell and makes the cell stable at resting membrane potential.

The scorpion agitoxin affects the potassium channels, the depolarize cell remains in the depolarize state because potassium channels are inhibited. The cells are unable to repolarize as the potassium channels are unable to enter in the cells.

Which isotope has a relatively short half-life?
beks73 [17]
Oxygen-16 and Carbon-12 are stableisotopes of elements O and C respectively. Hence, they do not have half-lives. But Carbon-14 andUranium-238 are radioactive isotopes. Among them Carbon-14 has relatively short half-life as about 5730 years while Uranium-238 has a long half-life as about 4.5 billion years.

Answer is. uranium-238

cell organelles In this lab, you will try to view as many cell organelles as you can at different magnification levels. Write an
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

What is the effect of power/magnification on the frequency and size of organelles under a microscope?

Explanation:

Organelles within the cell are responsible for carrying out various functions. Some cells are more specialized than others, and may have particular organelles at a higher frequency, or showing a variation in size; sub-cellular structures become more visible at higher magnifications under the microscope.

Hypotheses:

  • organelle A's frequency decreases while B's frequency increases at higher magnifications
  • organelle A's size increases while B's size decreases at higher magnifications

<em />

<em>Dependent variables: size and frequency cell organelles</em>

<em>Independent variable:  power/magnification at low (x4), medium(x10) and high  (x40)</em>

<em>Controlled variables: Type of organelles, microscope used, cell examined, </em>

Method:

1. Examine the organelles A and B in a cell mounted on a slide; use the fine adjustment to focus on the cell.

  • Frequency:  What is the average number of organelle A versus B, seen at low (x4), medium (x10) and high (x40) magnifications?
  • Size: Measure the average diameter of organelle A versus B using an ocular micrometer at low, medium and high magnification.

2. Record and tabulate observations.

The ocean and the atmosphere serve as long-term storage areas for carbon and other nutrients. What are these storage areas calle
charle [14.2K]
The storage areas are called : Reservoirs Reservoirs can both be made by nature or crafted by men. In order to make our lives became easier , we could create our own reservioir by digging up an open land to form a space that could contain water when its raining, as a back up resources when the lake or rivers are drying up

Which pair is incorrectly matching polymer-monomer? nucleic acids - nucleotides proteins - amino acids lipids - monosaccharides
Andrew [12]

The pair that incorrectly matches polymer-monomer is lipids-monosaccharides (option C).

<h3>What is a monomer?</h3>

A monomer is a small molecule which can be covalently bonded to other monomers to form a polymer.

A polymer, on the other hand, is a large molecule made up of a chain of many monomeric units, formed by chemically bonding together.

The following are the monomer-polymer combination we have in nature;

  • Carbohydrates - simple sugar/monosaccharide
  • Protein - amino acid
  • Lipids - fatty acid
  • Nucleic acid - nucleotide

Therefore, the pair that incorrectly matches polymer-monomer is lipids-monosaccharides.
