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

Biology
1 answer:
Nady [450]3 years ago
5 0

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.

Bacteria undergo mitosis and meiosis in order to reproduce and increase genetic recombination.
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

The correct answer is (b)-False

Explanation:

Bacteria do not undergo meiosis or mitosis to reproduce and increase its genetic recombination. To increase their genetic recombination bacteria take the help of horizontal gene transfer through which it gets the genetic material of another bacteria. This new gene helps bacteria to survive in the challenging environment.

Bacteria divide through binary fission in which one cell of bacteria divides into two equal daughter cell each having its genetic material because genetic material of parent cell segregate equally into both the cell.  

Therefore bacteria do not undergo meiosis or mitosis.
