A cell membrane pump helps human cells to maintain a relatively constant sodium and potassium concentration.
<u>Option: A</u>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Sodium potassium pump is a plasma membrane protein that utilizes energy ATP — Triphosphate Adenosine turning into ADP — Adenosine Diphosphate to deliver intracellular and extracellular sodium (NA+) and potassium (K+) ions sequentially. The purpose of this entire mechanism is to preserve cell equilibrium.
The extracellular medium has a greater concentration of Na while the K concentration of the intracellular fluid is lower. Proteins trap sodium ions in the cytoplasm and pump them out from the cells to preserve cell stability while preserving concentrations. Within the cells proteins inject potassium ions into the cell.
Is there a picture with this question? It seems like there's background information which isn't being shown here.
Pedigrees are basically a map of alleles for family trees
______Person1 -- Person2_____
I I I I
__Person3_ Person 4 Person5 _Person6___
I I I I I
Person7 Person8 Person9 Person10 Person11
And under everyone's name you write their alleles.
Punnett squares give the probability of someone having genes based on their parents' genes.
Parent1 (Aa) or Parent1 (aa)
Parent2 (AA) AA Aa Parent2 (Aa) Aa aa
AA Aa aa aa
An increase in the available water in an ecosystem would increase the sustainability of an ecosystem.
An increase of human interference can negatively impact local flora and fauna populations.
A decrease in the amount of sunlight would negative impact plants.
A decrease in the number of available producers will negatively impact the entire food chain/food web.
It depends on how u do it. If it’s near an ocean, it can cause harm to sea animals, or on land, it can cause pollution, and kill land animals as well.
