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.

what role does fact finding play in the arbitration and mediation process between labor and management
maks197457 [2]

Mediation is the process of two conflicting groups coming together to find a middle term. It is at times the negotiation with the difference and it is normally supervised by a person in authority who oversees and leads the processes.  If the mediation fails them the conflict is placed under arbitration.  The process of arbitration is fully directed by an arbitrator who has same powers as the judge but is limited to the conflict that is being solved. The arbitrator is there to impose a final decision or come up with the resolution to the conflict in the fairest way. He should follow justice after listening to both conflicting side. The arbitrator is not there to find the middle term to be agreed by the two sides.

How do the small molecules of oxygen and carbon dioxide move through the cell membrane?
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

A.  passive transport by diffusion

Explanation:

Diffusion and osmosis are both types of passive transport. They do not require energy. Diffusion is the general term for the process. Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules.

Many small, uncharged molecules can cross the cell membrane by diffusion. Oxygen and carbon dioxide are examples of two small molecules that pass the cell membrane by passive transport.

Larger or charged molecules require energy to cross the cell membrane. This is achieved by active transport.
