Depolarisation

A membrane depolarization is a decrease in the potential difference between the outside of a cell and the intracellular medium, on either side of the plasma membrane, most often due to a positive ion input (Na +, Ca ++, etc.) inside the cell or sometimes due to the release of chloride ions, and involved in the mechanisms of transmission of nerve impulses and muscle contraction.

Hyperpolarization:

The depolarization is followed by a repolarization, thanks to the output of an equivalent quantity of ions k + which causes the return to the state of equilibrium. Then there is a hyperpolarization due to the output of more k + ions than Na + ions, because the potassium channels are slow to close. Finally there is a return to the resting potential.

Hyperpolarization is a term opposite to that of depolarization, it refers to values lower than that observed during the resting potential.

Which data table describes the Sun?
Inessa05 [86]

B.   Composition mostly hydrogen and helium gas  Mass 1.989 × 10³⁰ kg

Explanation:

The best data that describes the sun is that it's composition is made up of mostly hydrogen and helium gas with a mass of about 1.989 x 10³⁰kg.

  • The sun is the largest body in our solar system and all planetary bodies revolves round it.
  • At the core of the sun, nuclear fusion is occurring.
  • Here, small atomic nuclei combines into larger ones with the release of a large amount of energy.
  • The small nuclei are hydrogen and they produce helium.
  • This process produce energy for the whole solar system.
  • The sun is best defined as giant hot ball of gases.

One benefit of the countercurrent flow process is
torisob [31]

Answer:

Option (a).

Explanation:

Counter current flow may be defined as the flow of water in the opposite direction with the flow of blood in the body. This countercurrent flow is generally occurs in fishes.

The one main benefit of the countercurrent flow is the absorption of maximum oxygen as the water flows inside the body. Approximately, three time more oxygen is extracted during the counter current flow. The concentration gradient is maintained up to the whole length of gills.

Thus, the correct answer is option (a).
