A large gradient for sodium exists across a cell membrane. Channels are opened and sodium diffuses freely through the channels.

How will this movement affect the free energy, entropy, enthalpy, and stability of this system? Note: the system is the sodium ions inside and outside of the cell.

Answer:

Once the sodium channels opens and sodium is allowed to diffuse freely in and out of the cell, this will cause a large change in entropy and enthalpy. Values for both these quantities will increase significantly, however, the change in free energy will be small when we compare the open and closed state of the sodium channel. With regards to the stability of the system, it will reach equilibrium because the concentration of sodium ions is being allowed to diffuse without any regulation.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

Attached earlobes are recessive to free earlobes. If two heterozygous individuals have a child, what is the probability of the c
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

probability of the child having attached earlobes since it is recessive i.e (yy)

=1/4

=0.25 × 100%

=25%

Explanation:

If two heterozygous individuals have a child

i.e let the heterozygous individuals be  = Xy

if both traits crosses together; their F₁ offspring will be;  (XX, Xy, Xy, yy)

Xy  ×   Xy

          X             y

X        XX          Xy

y       Xy            yy

probability of the child having attached earlobes since it is recessive i.e (yy)

=1/4

=0.25 × 100%

=25%

leonid [27]

Answer:

The introns of protein-encoding nuclear genes of higher eukaryotes almost invariably begin (5') with GT and end (3') with AG. In addition, the 3'subterminal A in the “TACTAAC box” is completely conserved; this A is involved in bond formation during intron excision.
