The planetary body that Spirit was designed to explore the wide ranges of soil and rocks for clues of the water activity on Mars. Spirit specifically landed at the Gusev Crater which was before, a possible lake in a giant crater.
Answer:
1. Potassium
2. increasing towards zero
3. hyperpolarization
4. voltage-regulated Potassium
Explanation:
Membrane potential can be defined as the difference in electric charges inside and outside of a cell. The resting membrane potential (RMP) occurs when there is no net current across the membrane and therefore the cell is in a non-excited state. At the RMP, sodium ions (Na+) are more concentrated inside the extracellular fluid (ECF) than inside the intracellular fluid (ICF), while potassium ions (K+) are more concentrated inside the ICF. The diffusion of K+ outside the cell triggers its hyperpolarization, by becoming the membrane potential more negative compared to the resting potential. As the potential nears +35 mV, the voltage-regulated potassium channels are open, thereby K+ ions leave the cell down its concentration gradient, while voltage-gated Na+ channels become saturated and inactivate.
Answer:
A) all the genes that occur in the population.
Explanation:
The gene pool is defined as the set of all genes in population. The larger the genetic pool in population is, the grater genetic diversity is so the population can survive intense process of selection. On the other hand, low genetic diversity can cause reduced biological fitness and the chance of extinction is increased.
