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:

Changes in the object's momentum (answer D)

Explanation:

A net force will cause an object to change its velocity, and that will affect the object's momentum, which is defined by the product of the object's mass times its velocity.

So, select the last option (D) in the given list.

A radio signal has a frequency of 1.023 x 108 HZ. If the speed of the signal in air is 2.997 x 108m/s, what is the wavelength of
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

2.93 m  (which agrees with answer "C" on the list)

Explanation:

Recall that the speed of the wave equals the product of the wave's length times its frequency. Therefore, the wavelength is going to be the quotient of the speed of the signal divided its frequency:

Wavelength = 2.997  10^8 / 1.023  10^8 =  2.93 m
