The structure of plasma membrane makes it selectively permeable allowing it to regulate the passage of substances into and out of the cell. Small nonpolar molecules can easily across the phospholipid bilayer of plasma membrane because it is hydrophobic. Polar molecules and ion cannot easily across the hydrophobic portion of plasma membrane because it is hydrophilic. Polar molecules and ions usually across the plasma membrane with the help of transport proteins.
All energy sources have some impact on our environment. Fossil fuels—coal, oil, and natural gas—do substantially more harm than renewable energy sources by most measures, including air and water pollution, damage to public health, wildlife and habitat loss, water use, land use, and global warming emissions.
Answer:
O The neuron has more potassium ions inside than outside.
Explanation:
The membrane resting potential is defined as the difference in electrical charge between the interior of neurons and their outer environment. In neurons, both sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) pumps contribute to generating the resting potential. Neurons have a higher concentration of K+ inside than outside and a higher concentration of Na+ outside than inside. When a neuron is at its rest state, where the inside is negative with respect to the outside, its membrane is more permeable to K+ than Na+, and therefore the resting membrane potential is closer to the equilibrium potential of K+.
