Animal cells have a membrane that separates the interior of the cell from the outside environment. Typically, an electric potent

ial difference exists between the inner and outer surfaces of the membrane. Consider one such cell where the magnitude of the potential difference is 66 mV, and the outer surface of the membrane is at a higher potential than the inner surface. A sodium ion (Na+) is initially just inside the cell membrane (initially at rest). How much work (in J) is required for a cell to eject the ion, so that it moves from the interior of the cell to the exterior?

Answer:

1.05 × 10⁻²¹J

Explanation:

The potential difference between the exterior and the interior of the cell is important for the conduction of nerve impulse in the body.

The work required to eject the electron can be calculated as follows:

w = q × v

Here, w is work done, q is the charge on sodium ion = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹J and v is the voltage = 66 mV.

W =  1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ × 66 mV

W = 1.05 × 10⁻²¹J.

Thus, the answer is 1.05 × 10⁻²¹J.

When organisms attempt to use the same resources
alexandr402 [8]
Competition is the term used when organism attempt to use the same resources. The main issue here is limited availability of resources. Due to the "limitation" of resources, all organisms in competition suffer a loss as no organism will gain a sufficient amount of resource that is needed for survival, reproduction or growth.

In an attempt to identify ecologically friendly methods for controlling mosquito​ populations, researchers conducted field exper
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Mosquito fish.

Explanation:

Another ecologically friendly methods such as mosquito fish is also used for controlling mosquito​ populations. Mosquito lays egg in the ponds so these mosquito fish feeds on the larvae of mosquito and remove or reduce the population of larvae so very less number of larvae change into adult so this method is also a very good method for controlling of mosquito and no bad effect on the environment.

How might a population change over 10 generations due to the environmental pressure of a predator hunting them? Why?
kow [346]
The population is going to decline. The reason it will decline is because of the word 'pressure' which signifies that there is a struggle for survival. If a population is struggling to survive, this means that there is either too many secondary consumers (not enough tertiary consumers to eat the secondary consumers), or the primary consumers are reproducing enough.


Food chain goes as follows:
Primary Producer - Grass
Primary Consumer - Grasshopper 
Secondary Consumer - Rat
Tertiary Consumer - Snake
Quaternary Consumer - Hawk

You are given a substance that contains salt, water, and black pepper. a. How would you classify the substance? Justify your ans
Dvinal [7]

Answer: a. solution.

Explanation:

A solution is a substance which consists of two or more substances. The solute and solvent are the components of the solution. The solute dissolves in a solvent.

a. When salt, water, and black pepper mix together they form a solution. The salt and black pepper are solute and the water is the solvent.

b. salt is a solid.  It has a crystalline structure.

water is a liquid

black pepper is again solid

These components will mix together to form a solution.
