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.
If it is heated while it is being compressed or held inside a container as such, the pressure build up while in the container and the pressure can become so much that the container will burst.
The answer for that is 16, math right?
Answer:
B. CA, 14
Explanation:
Atoms of elements contain small particles known as electrons, neutrons, and protons. The nucleus of an atom is made up of neutrons and protons which are at the center of the atom. Electrons on the other hand surrounds the nucleus. Electron has negative charge while proton has a positive charge. The number of neutrons is equivalent to the number of protons . In addition, the number of protons is equal to mass number minus the number of electrons.
For the compound
, it can be broken down into
and
. Its ion has a mass of 34 and 18 electrons which means it has already lost 2 electrons.
Therefore:
For the given element, the number of electrons is 18+2 = 20 electrons.
The number of protons = 34 - 20 = 14.
And the number of neutrons is 14.
Only option B has the correct answer.
