Answer:
a. Remaining at rest requires the use of ATP.
Explanation:
The resting membrane potential is maintained by the sodium-potassium pump. The sodium potassium pump does this by actively pumping sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions inside the cell in a ratio of 3:2. This movement of ions by the sodium-potassium pump is against their concentration gradient. In a neuron at rest, there are more sodium ions outside the cell than there are inside the cell. Also, there are are more potassium ions inside the cell than there are outside the cell. However, there are ion channels through which these ions enter and leave the cell. Sodium ion channels allow sodium to enter the cell following its concentration gradient, whereas, potassium ion channels allow potassium to leave the cell following its concentration gradient. However, more potassium ions leave the cell than do sodium ions enter the cell because of the higher permeability of the cell to potassium ions.
In order to maintain the resting membrane potential, the sodium potassium pump powered by the hydrolysis of an ATP molecules pumps sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell.
<em>Therefore, the correct option is A, as ATP is needed by the sodium-potassium pump in order to maintain the resting membrane potential.</em>
Answer:
KOH(aq) + HCl(aq) ——-> KCl(aq) + H2O(l)
Explanation:
A neutralization reaction is the chemical reaction between an acid and an alkali to yield salt and water only.
In this particular question, the acid is hydrochloric acid while the alkali is potassium solution. We now write the equation of reaction as follows:
KOH(aq) + HCl(aq) ——-> KCl(aq) + H2O(l)
The salt formed here is KCl otherwise called potassium chloride
The pressure is a result of the motion of particles
Answer:
There are 13 numbers in an aluminum atom and 13 electrons.
Explanation:
This is because the atomic number equals the number of protons and the atomic number of Al is 13. The number of electrons also equals the number of protons.
Answer:
0.052L
Explanation:
Molarity of a substance, which refers to the molar concentration, is calculated as follows:
Molarity (M) = number of moles (mol) ÷ volume (L)
Mole = mass ÷ molar mass
Molar Mass of AgNO3 since Ag = 108, N = 14, O = 16
108 + 14 + 16(3)
= 108 + 14 + 48
= 170g/mol
Mole = 21.89 g ÷ 170g/mol
Mole = 0.129moles
Using Molarity (M) = number of moles (mol) ÷ volume (L)
Volume = number of moles ÷ molarity
V = 0.129 ÷ 2.50
V = 0.0516
To the correct significant figure i.e. 4s.f, the numerical value of volume = 0.052L
