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.

which piece of DNA would have the highest tm one with a cytosine plus guanine comment at t 30% or a cystonie plus guane content
erik [133]

Answer:

50% G+C will have a higher Tm

Explanation:

The Temperature of Melting (Tm) refers to the temperature at which 50% of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) is changed to single-standard DNA (ssDNA). In the double helix of DNA, Adenine bases always pair with Thymine bases through two hydrogen bonds, whereas Guanine bases always pair with Cytosine bases through three hydrogen bonds. In consequence, a DNA molecule containing a higher GC content is more stable than another DNA molecule containing a lower GC content. The Tm can be calculated as follows = 2 °C(A + T) + 4 °C(G + C) = °C Tm (this equation is useful for oligonucleotides of 14 to 20 base-length).

5.21 Unit Test: Water and Oceans - Part 1
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Surface currents that move in a path similar to the wind currents

Explanation:

One of the reasons of the movement of the surface of the oceans is the force of the blowing wind. When there is a movement of wind over the surface of the ocean, the surface friction is created. Because of this there is an energy transfer between the force of the wind and the surface of the ocean water. This results in the creation of roughness of the surface of the ocean. The more the surface area of the ocean, the more is the transfer of the energy.

<span>Q1. Diamond, Q2. Diamond, Q3. The amount of light bending depends on angle and wavelength the light enters the substance and how dense the substance is, Q4. If the second substance is more dense than the first, the light ray bends towards the ‘normal’, if it’s less dense it bends away, Q5. In the swimming pool, when you look at a person’s body underwater they appear disjointed.</span>
