Answer:

Carbon

Explanation:

Carbon is associated with living beings by participating in the metabolic needs of these organisms, being the chemical basis for the essential molecules (such as proteins, carbohydrates and lipids) of living things.

Carbon is also present in the photosynthesis reaction of plants, where the sun's energy reacts with carbon to generate oxygen.

In addition, carbon is present in many foods, particularly carbohydrates, which when eaten by animals, are converted into energy to help them stay alive.

The resting membrane potential would become more positive because researchers are taking negatively charged molecules out of the cell.

Which methods were used to record the resting membrane potential and action potential of the squid axon choose all that apply ?

The squid axon's action potential and resting membrane potential were captured using the following experimental strategy.
Using a recording microelectrode inside the cell that is connected to a second electrode outside the cell .

What is cell membrane ?

All cells have a cell membrane, also known as a plasma membrane, which separates the interior of the cell from the external environment.
A semipermeable lipid bilayer makes up the cell membrane.
The movement of materials into and out of the cell is controlled by the cell membrane.

What are the functions of a cell membrane?

The cell membrane, therefore, has two functions: first, to be a barrier keeping the constituents of the cell in and unwanted substances out .
second, to be a gate allowing transport into the cell of essential nutrients and movement from the cell of waste products.

All organisms must perform life-sustaining metabolic processes in order to survive.

Alik [6]

Explanation:

Unicellular organisms or single celled organisms that are made up only of one cell. Hence the name.
Unicellular organisms are further divided into Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic organisms
Examples of prokaryotic organisms are bacteria and Eukaryotic are protozoa and unicellular algae, however many eukaryotes are multi cellular as well.
These organisms have to carry out life sustaining metabolic processes for their survival.
These processes are metabolism, homeostasis and reproduction. Metabolism is important as it involves conversion of food into energy for cellular processes. Homeostasis for maintaining a constant internal physical and chemical conditions and reproduction is by cell division.
Multi cellular organisms as the name says unlike unicellular organisms consists of more than one cells.
Examples of multi cellular organisms are animals, land plants etc.,
Metabolic process in multi cellular organisms is a broad category of processes happening for these organisms which involves chemical reactions and pathways that happen at organismal state, transporting substances between the cells.
