Answer:

In wet mount the specimen is suspended in liquid. This liquid can be salt water or water from the habitat of the organism and it is present between cover glass and slide.

When living cells are studied wet mount has following advantages over dry mount:

  • Image quality is improved due to refractive index of water
  • It is possible to observe real time cell functions like feeding and division.
  • Organisms are viewed in their natural form and colour as dry mount can fade or change the colour of the organism

Oak leaf can't be used in wet mount investigation because it is too thick. It blocks light coming from the stage and observer cant observe the specimen's details.

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.
