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.

Dafna1 [17]

Heat transfer means heat energy is transferred from on object or a body to another. This causes change in many factors, and temperature is one of such factors. If the temperature increases, it means heating is taking place and if temperature decreases it means cooling is taking place.

If Tfinal is more than Tinitial, it means the object has gained some amount of heat energy. Therefore, heating is taking place.

If Tfinal is less that Tinitial, it means the object has lost some heat energy and cooling is taking place.
