The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

A. endocytosis

B. active transport

C. facilitated diffusion

D. infusion

E. osmosis

Answer:

B. active transport

Explanation:

The neuron cell involves the influx and efflux of the sodium and potassium ions. These ions move through membrane proteins by facilitated diffusion and active transport.

The active transport allows the movement of ions against the concentration gradient that is even if the concentration of ions is higher.

In the given question, although the potassium ions are higher in the cytoplasm of the neuron, the potassium ions can enter the cell through active transport.

Thus, active transport  is correct.

Imagine that a biologist deposits 50 isopods on the surface of the leaf litter in a forest. the back ofeach isopod is marked wit
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

The isopods will be found under the leaf litter.

Explanation:

Isopods are crustaceans and they live in freshwater, marine water or on land. The forms of isopods that are found on land mostly prefer the cool and moist environment.

As the biologist will leave them on leaf litter, they will crawl to the area under the leaf because the area under the leaf litter is relatively cool and moist and there they can get an environment which is suitable for their living. Thus when the biologist will come after one hour, most of the isopods will be found under the leaf litter.
