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).

What do biologist geologist have in common how are they different
Delicious77 [7]
The prefix for Bio is life so a biologist studies life of living organisms
The prefix for Geo is earth so it would be the study of earth.
What is in common would be animals and plants
what is different is an Geologist studies only earth Biologist studies everything living. I hope this was helpful and I didn't confuse you.

The Doppler shift can be observed when ____________. Check all that apply. Group of answer choices the source of sound moves tow
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

the source of sound moves towards an observe

Explanation:

The Doppler effect is related to waves such as sound or light. the effect causes an increase or decrease in the frequency of sound light or other waves when the souces either move towards or away from the observer. For example the siren of the train to a person on the platform, the redshift seen by astronomers.

Therefore, The Doppler shift can be observed when the source of sound moves towards an observer From a place closer to the observer than the last wave's crest, each consecutive wave crest is sent. Each wave therefore, takes a little less time than the preceding wave to reach the observer.
