Answer:

An increase or decrease in the permeability of a cell membrane by opening or closing of ion channels would change the membrane potential of a cell membrane from resting membrane potential.

Explanation:

The Resting membrane potential (RMP) normally sits between -50 and -75. This RMP value depends upon the type of ion channels that are open and the concentration of different ions (K+, Na+, Ca2+, Cl-) in the intracellular and extracellular fluids.

For example, in a neuronal cell at a resting state Potassium (K) and Organic anions are found at a higher concentration within the cell than outside. Whereas, Sodium (Na) and Chloride (Cl-) ions are in higher concentration outside the cell. This difference in concentration provides a gradient for ions to flow down their concentration gradient when channels are open as a result of action potential. During depolarization, voltage gated Na+ ions open because of an electrical stimulus. As sodium ions rushes in the cell, the charge inside the cell raises from Negative to Positive changing the Resting Membrane Potential.

Once the cell has been depolarized , the voltage gated Na+ channels close. The raised positive charge inside the cell now causes K+ channels to open, potassium ions now move down the concentration gradient out of the cell so that membrane potential falls and starts to approach the Resting Membrane Potential. This is called re polarization.

So, that's how permeability or opening and closing of ion channels would change the Resting Membrane Potential (RMP).

Answer:

4,800?

First I subtracted 8 from 24 because there are 24 hours in a day ad she spends 8 of those hours sleeping. I then took the answer which was 16, and multiplied that by 60 to find out how many minutes were in 16 hours and I got 960. I then multiplied 960 by 5 because she winks 5 times each minute. This left me with the answer 4,800.

What did Bohr's model of the atom include that Rutherford's model did not have?
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The correct option is energy levels

Explanation:

Rutherford's model of an atom suggests that an atom has a tiny positively charged central mass (now called the nucleus) which is surrounded by electrons (negatively charged) in a <em>cloud</em>-like manner.

Bohr's model went a bit further than the Rutherford's model in describing an atom by suggesting that the electrons which surrounds in the nucleus travel in <u>fixed circular orbits</u>. This description by <em>Bohr was able to describe the energy levels of orbitals which assumes that smallest orbitals have the lowest energy while the largest orbitals have the highest energy</em>.
