Question:

Which of the following statements correctly describe(s) the driving forces for diffusion of Na+ and K+ ions through their respective channels? Select all that apply.

A)The diffusion of Na+ ions into the cell is facilitated by the Na+ concentration gradient across the plasma membrane.

B)The diffusion of Na+ ions into the cell is impeded by the electrical gradient across the plasma membrane.

C)The diffusion of K+ ions out of the cell is impeded by the K+ concentration gradient across the plasma membrane.

D)The diffusion of K+ ions out of the cell is impeded by the electrical gradient across the plasma membrane. The electrochemical gradient is larger for Na+ than for K+.

Answer:

"The concentration gradient and the electro-chemical gradient" describes  the driving forces for diffusion of Na+ and K+ ions through their respective channels

Explanation:

The Na ions diffusion inside the cell is facilitated by the concentration gradient of the Na ions which is present across the plasma membrane. Hence, the diffusion of the K ions which is present outside the cell and will be impeded due to the electrical gradient which is present near the plasma membrane. Thus, the electro-chemical gradient is greater as compared to the Na ion than that of the K ion.

What is the molarity of 2.00 L of a solution that contains 14.6 g NaCl?
White raven [17]

Answer: The molarity of the solution is 0.125 M

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

Molarity=\frac{n}{V_s}

where,

n = moles of solute

V_s = volume of solution in L

moles of NaCl = \frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{14.6g}{58.5g/mol}=0.250mol

Now put all the given values in the formula of molality, we get

Molarity=\frac{0.250mol}{2.00L}=0.125M

Therefore, the molarity of the solution is 0.125 M

A chemical might be used to melt ice if it raises the temperature of the ice. This best type reaction to accomplish this would b
Setler79 [48]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

B) endothermic reaction.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Melting of ice is endothermic because it is taking heat from the environment, feeling cold, because it requires energy to break the ice bonds. It's also why you feel cold when wet it takes energy to evaporate water. The ice absorbs the energy from the environment. Its internal potential energy increases, therefore, it's endothermic. It also increases the entropy of reaction.

What are the sources of petrochemicals
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Petrochemicals are chemical products derived from petroleum, although many of the same chemical compounds are also obtained from other fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas or from renewable sources such as corn, sugar cane, and other types of biomass.
