Answer:Hyperpolarization, depolarization

Explanation: Membrane potential is the difference in charge distribution or electrical potential across the membrane of a cell.

Resting membrane potential is the membrane potential when the cell is not receiving any excitatory or inhibitory signal, it is the membrane potential when a cell is at rest. Depolarization means that the cell is less negative, that is, there is less negative ions on the inside of the cell than on the outside while hyperpolarization means that the cell is more negative or less positive, that is, there is more negative ions on the inside of the cell than on the outside of the cell.

Answer: depolarization; hyperpolarization

Explanation:

At resting potential (absence of stimulus), the cell membrane of a neuron is said to be polarized with a net negative charge within due to more potassium (K+) ions present than sodium (Na+) ions.

However, an impressed stimuli reverses the ions content as K+ ions flows out and quickly replaced by Na+ ions, resulting in a decrease in membrane potential and a more positive cell membrane. Thus, depolarization occurs.

An increase in the membrane potential (so that it becomes more negative) is called hyperpolarization.

Step2247 [10]
We reject the options a) and b) since the question says that the data supports "equally" both cases - so we have no basis for making a choice either way.

Further, in science the decisions are reached based on facts, not voting, so we also reject the answer D .

We are left with the answer C and this is also the best practice in science - when unsure, leave it as a hypothesis.

Lerok [7]
It is (D) Carbon dioxide.
in lactic acid=C6H12O6 to produce 2C3H6O3+Energy.
in alcoholic fermentation=C6H12O6 to produce 2C2H5OH+2CO2.
therefore all of them produce (D) Carbon dioxide.

Regarding the order rhizobiales of the class Alphaproteobacteria, the genus that includes human pathogens is Brucella.
Rhizobiales are a type of Alphaproteobacteria, which are a type of Proteobacteria, which are Gram-negative bacteria.
Brucella is also a type of Gram-negative bacteria that can cause brucellosis, which is an infectious disease caused by eating unpasteurized milk or undercooked meat.
