Biology

Answer:

Electrical stimulation of the cell is depolarization, and electrical relaxation of cells is repolarization.

Explanation:

The electrical activity of the cell depends on the charges distributed on each side of its membrane, which depends on the presence of ions on each side, extracellular sodium and intracellular potassium.

A cell, like the neuron, at rest has a tendency to be negatively charged in its cytoplasm, while the extracellular space has a positive charge.

  • Depolarization of a cell occurs by opening the sodium channels, allowing this ion to enter the cell, resulting in a difference in transmembrane potential.  It is electrical stimulation of the cell.
  • If the potential difference is maintained and reaches the umbral level, it produces an action potential, which in cells such as the neuron produces an electrical stimulus and in the muscle cell a contraction.
  • Repolarization means the opening of potassium channels, the exit of this ion to the extracellular space and the return of the cell to rest.

Why are biofuels derived from plants?
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Biofuels are renewable fuels that are produced from biomass, organisms that were formed and stopped living a short time ago. The energy in the biofuels is called bioenergy. The major constituents of biomass are cellulose, lignin, starch and sugar, but many plants also contain other organic compounds that are beneficial for energy recovery from the material due to their physical structure and chemical composition. The difference between biofuels and fossil fuels is that fossil fuels take millions of years for new formation while new biomass for biofuels is constantly being formed. This means that biofuels can usually be considered carbon neutral as the carbon dioxide emitted during combustion is constantly bound to new biomass in a closed cycle.
