When two sides of a membrane are in contact with each other, the distribution of ions will alter as a result of the binding of a signal molecule to a ligand-gated ion channel.
<h3>
What is a ligand-gated ion channel?</h3>
Ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) are membrane proteins that are structurally integral and feature a pore that permits the controlled passage of particular ions across the plasma membrane. The electrochemical gradient for the permeant ions drives the passive ion flux.
When a chemical ligand, such as a neurotransmitter, attaches to the protein, ligand-gated ion channels open. Changes in membrane potential cause voltage channels to open and close. When a receptor physically deforms, as in the case of pressure and touch receptors, mechanically-gated channels open.

<span>a) 1960 m
b) 960 m
Assumptions.
1. Ignore air resistance.
2. Gravity is 9.80 m/s^2
For the situation where the balloon was stationary, the equation for the distance the bottle fell is
d = 1/2 AT^2
d = 1/2 9.80 m/s^2 (20s)^2
d = 4.9 m/s^2 * 400 s^2
d = 4.9 * 400 m
d = 1960 m
For situation b, the equation is quite similar except we need to account for the initial velocity of the bottle. We can either assume that the acceleration for gravity is negative, or that the initial velocity is negative. We just need to make certain that the two effects (falling due to acceleration from gravity) and (climbing due to initial acceleration) counteract each other. So the formula becomes
d = 1/2 9.80 m/s^2 (20s)^2 - 50 m/s * T
d = 1/2 9.80 m/s^2 (20s)^2 - 50m/s *20s
d = 4.9 m/s^2 * 400 s^2 - 1000 m
d = 4.9 * 400 m - 1000 m
d = 1960 m - 1000 m
d = 960 m</span>

Answer: C. Africa
Explanation:
The data given on the graph shows that:
Asia will grow from around 1,300 million to 5,000 million in 2050 which is an increase of:
= 5,000 /1,300 = 3.84 times
Europe will decrease over that period.
Africa will go from around 300 million to 2,000 million which is an increase of:
= 2,000 / 300
= 6.67 times
Mexico
, Central America, Caribbean Islands:
= 900 / 120
= 7.5 times
United States, Canada, and Greenland:
= 400/120
= 3.33
Oceania:
= 50 / 13
= 3.85
From the options give, Africa will see the greatest increase at 6.67 times its population in 1950.
