The right answer is Negative (anion).

Anion is an ion that, having gained one or more electron (s), carries one or more negative electric charge (s), (since the number of negative charge (electrons) is greater than the number of charges positive (protons)): for example, the Cl- chloride ion is the chlorine atom that has gained an electron. Conversely, a cation contains fewer electrons than protons.

It is so called because during an electrolysis, this ion is attracted by the positive electrode called anode, in the same way that the poles of opposite charges of the magnets attract.

The potential difference across a resting neuron in the human body is about 70 mv, and the current in it is approximately 200ua.

MrMuchimi

I = 200 ua

V = 70 mV

Power = ?

Formula: Power = IV

Solution:

Power = IV

= ( 200 x 10^-6 A ) x ( 70 x 10^-3 V )

Power = 1.4 x 10^-5 Watts

The power that the neuron release is 1.4 x 10^-5 Watts

Groundwater helps to replenish our freshwater lakes and rivers. In two or more complete sentences, describe a source of contamin

Viefleur [7K]

The agriculture is one of the biggest contaminators of the groundwater. The contamination happens through the usage of chemicals in the agriculture for protection of the plants, or to encourage their growth. Part of those chemicals mange to wash through the soil and reach the groundwater. The majority of the groundwater is connected with the lakes and the rivers, thus the chemicals reach those waters as well. This makes these waters unusable for the humans because they are becoming toxic. The end result would be much less freshwater for usage, be it fro drinking, or for housework, as it can cause serious damage and even death if used, so a shortage of water would be inevitable.
