Answer: Water moves into and out of cells by osmosis. If a cell is in a hypertonic solution, the solution has a lower water concentration than the cell cytosol, and water moves out of the cell until both solutions are isotonic.
Answer:
Ecological succession
Explanation:
In ecology, ecological succession is described as a series of change in the structure or composition of an ecological community over a period of time. There are two types of ecological succession namely: primary succession and secondary succession.
Primary succession occurs on a barren land with no prior growth while secondary succession occurs in an area that has been colonized before but disturbed by an environmental hazard.
Answer:
D) Na+ is used to repolarize the membrane.
Explanation:
Option D is wrong choice because it is K+ which is used to repolarize the membrane not Na+.
As soon as membrane gets depolarized because of influx of Na+ due to opening of voltage gated Na+ channels simultaneous opening of voltage gated K+ channels and closing of Na+ voltage gated channels takes place. As a result of which K+ moves out of the cell leading to drawing of electrochemical gradient out of the cell.
In order to achieve resting membrane potential, more Na+ must be out of the cell and more K+ must be inside the cell. There are many leaky channels on neurons from which Na+ has tendency to leak into the cell while K+ has the tendency to leak outside of the cell. So Na+/K+ pump which is located on the membrane of neuron keeps pushing Na+ outside of the cell and K+ inside the cell so as to maintain resting membrane potential which is -70 mV.
