Answer:

Contributes to the membrane potential.

Explanation:

Sodium-potassium pump: In cellular physiology, a protein which is identified in many cells that helping in to maintain the higher concentration of potassium ions inside than that is in the surrounding medium and maintain the lower concentration of sodium ions inside than that of the surrounding medium.

This unbalanced charge transfer contributes in the separation of charge across the cell membrane. Sodium-potassium pump is known for important contributor to action potential which is produce by nerve cells.

what is the balanced equation for the reaction of solid magnesium metal with oxygen gas to produce solid magnesium oxide
GaryK [48]

Answer:

2Mg + O₂ ⟶ 2MgO

Explanation:

Step 1. Start with the most complicated-looking formula (O₂?).

Put a 1 in front of it.

Mg + 1O₂ ⟶ MgO

Step 2. Balance O.

We have fixed 2 O on the left. We need 2O on the right. Put a 2 in front of MgO.

Mg + 1O₂ ⟶ 2MgO

Step 3. Balance Mg.

We have fixed 2 Mg on the right-hand side. We need 2 Mg atoms on the left. Put a 2 in front of Mg.

2Mg + 1O₂ ⟶ 2MgO

Every formula now has a coefficient. The equation should be balanced. Let’s check.

<u>Atom</u>  <u>On the left</u>  <u>On the righ</u>t

  Mg             2                  2

  O                2                  2

All atoms are balanced.

The balanced equation is

2Mg + O₂ ⟶ 2MgO

Demonstrate In A Brief Paragraph How The Search To Explain Planetary Orbits Exemplifies The Scientific Method
Sveta_85 [38]

People firstly believe that the planets move in a circular orbit until Newton came up with his hypothesis by inventing calculus so that we could understood and calculated planetary orbits and their accuracy.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Everyone assumed the planets were perfect circles until Newton came up with an idea. Slowly people would make maps of the orbits that added circles on circles, and they could never really explain about the movement of the planet. They simply say that planets move on circles but they lacked the math to explain or prove it. Then Newton came up with an idea of inventing calculus so that we could understood and calculated planetary orbits and their accuracy.
  • Firstly people used their observations and say that the orbits looked like circles, then they developed their models and did the math, and proposed their hypothesizes which were wrong, until Newton came along and tried to match a model that used elliptical orbits and invented the math that allowed him to make predictions with it. His model worked for most planets.
  • However he could not explain about the planet Mercury for instance since it was a very strange orbit. Then after the Einstein's theory of General Relativity he could also explain very deeply about it.
  • Scientists and Astronomers made hypothesizes that there was another planet orbiting too close to the sun to see with telescopes, called Vulcan, that explained mercury's orbit before Einstein's theory. Then long after we had telescopes which was good enough to see if there was a planet orbiting closer to the sun than mercury.

31) give an example of one renewable and one non renewable resource. be sure to state which is renewable and which is nonrenewab
Yakvenalex [24]
31) A renewable resource is qualified as things like, Solar, Wind, Hydro-electric, and thermal.
A non-renewable source can be like coal, trees, Gasoline (oil), and petroleum.

32) I don't know what you mean, sorry.

33) Convection Currents cause the plates to move, sometime these currents cause the plates to collide, therefore creating an ... EARTHQUAKE.

If the ka of a monoprotic weak acid is 1.2 × 10-6, what is the ph of a 0.40 m solution of this acid?
frez [133]
First, we write out a balanced equation.
HA <--> H(+) + A(-)

Next, we create an ICE table

        HA     <-->      H+     +    A-
[]i     0.40M            0M           0M
Δ[]    -x                   +x            +x
[]f     0.40-x             x              x

Next, we write out the Ka expression.

Ka = [H+][A-]/[HA]

Ka = x*x/(0.40-x) 

However, because Ka is less than 10^-3, we can assume the amount of dissociation is negligible. Thus,

Assume 0.40-x ≈ 0.40

Therefore, 1.2x10^-6 = x^2/0.40

Then we solve for the [H+] concentration, or x

\sqrt{0.40(1.2*10^{-6})} =x

x=6.93x10^-4

Next, to find pH we do 

pH = -log[H+]

pH = -log[6.93x10^-4]

pH = 3.2

Beryllium has a nucleus composed of protons and neutrons. Given the data, how many protons are in a typical Beryllium nucleus?
Jlenok [28]

Atoms are made of 3 types of subatomic particles ; protons, neutrons and electrons

protons and neutrons are located inside the nucleus and electrons are found in energy shells around the nucleus. Protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged and neutrons are neutral. elements in their ground state are neutral with equal amounts of protons and electrons.

Atomic number is the number of protons. atomic number is characteristic for the element.

atomic number of Be is 4 therefore Be has 4 protons

answer is B. 4
