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!

An axon transmits messages ________ the cell body and a dendrite transmits messages ________ the cell body.
Scilla [17]

Answer:

away from; towards

Explanation:

An axon transmits messages away from the cell body and a dendrite transmits messages towards the cell body.

An axon also referred to as a never fiber, transmits electrical impulses away from the cell body i.e it transmits information to several muscles, neurons and glands. An example of an axon is one that runs from the spinal cord to the toe, it is referred to as the longest axon.

In contrast, a dendrite  receives signals or messages from other neurons and transmits the signals towards the cell body.

yan [13]
The answer is "Speciation".

When a population of organisms gives rise to new more species and this new species cannot effectively breed with one another, the term for the process is called Speciation. It refers to the evolutionary process in which the reproductively isolated populations of species evolve to become distinct species.
