This is the unequal distribution of ions across a cell membrane.

Answer:

Concentration gradient

Explanation:

Concentration gradient of the ions across the membrane generates the membrane resting potential.

Concentration gradient means that there is unequal distribution of the ions on different sides of membrane. For example, the concentration of K ions is much higher within the cell then out of the cell. Opposite is with the Na ions. When ions move from the area of their higher concentration to the are with the lower concentration, we say they move down the gradient or diffuse (no energy required). On the other hand, movement of ions against their gradient means that this process requires energy and involves protein pumps.

There are mountain ranges in the middle of the ocean floor. Because of the higher elevation gravity pushes down on the edges of the plates. This is called ridge push.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Ridge push is a simple explanation of the height of the landforms based on the gravity and the elasticity of the underlying rock. It says when a landform gets too much higher, the weight of the overlying rock and soil pushes the landform back to plains. Thereby an equilibrium is maintained.  

Slab pull is a theory proposed which visualizes the earth interior as a pool of hot molten lava that has a convection current going on. It explains why the crust of the earth continuously moves slowly and forms mountains and other rift valleys.

tatuchka [14]
Human anatomy deals with the study of the human body, its structures, and how these structures specifically function. Microscopic anatomy on the other hand deals with structures found within the body that cannot be seen by the naked eye but can be viewed with the use of the microscopic. Microscopic anatomy deals with the study of the smallest structures of the cells, tissues, and organs of the body.

Answer:

All viruses that spread within their host tissues (systemically) can be transmitted by grafting branches or buds from diseased plants on healthy plants. Natural grafting and transmission are possible by root grafts and with parasitic dodder (Cuscuta species). Vegetative propagation often spreads plant viruses.

Explanation:

Animals can actually reproduce sexually and asexually. Animals that reproduce asexually do that through fission, fragmentation, budding, etc.

Some of the animals that reproduce asexually include planarians, sea stars, annelid worms, etc.

In the fertilization process, the male sperm cell and the female egg cell come together.

Sexual reproduction involve the fertilization of egg by the sperm. In asexual, there is no fertilization. Ferns are spore-bearing plants. They reproduce via spores but their spores are not actually blackish.
