Answer:
a. polarized
Explanation:
The whole living cell and in particular the nerve cells show electric potential difference between the inner and outer faces of their cell membrane.
The resting potential of a cell refers to the difference in electrical potential that the inner and outer faces in the membrane of a neuron that is not transmitting nerve impulses. The resting potential value is around -70mV (milliVolts). The negative sign indicates that the interior of the cell is negative relative to the exterior.
The existence of the resting potential is mainly due to the difference in concentration of sodium (Na +) and potassium (K +) ions inside and outside the cell. This difference is maintained by a mechanism of active ion pumping through cell membranes, in which sodium is forced out of the cell and potassium in.
At rest, the alternation between passive and active ion transport occurs. There is passive input of sodium (Na +) ions, which are subsequently actively expelled, while potassium (K +) ions enter actively. Then K + passes passively from the cell, making the external medium positive relative to the internal medium. With this, the cell becomes polarized.
It’s see most of the interior of each cell is occupied
It seems that you have missed the necessary options for us to answer this question so I had to look for it. Anyway, here is the answer. The genetic or chromosomal abnormality that is correctly matched with its description is this: Phenylketonuria—the child cannot produce a critical enzyme, resulting in an accumulation of <span>poison, in turn causing mental disorder. Hope this helps.</span>
Osmosis is the movement of solvent particles
Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration
Answer:
The correct answer would be D) In a population of herbivores, a change in the habitat provides leaves that are high up in the trees. The herbivores with longer necks can reach the leaves. They survive and reproduce. The herbivores, over time, have longer necks.
Natural selection is a gradual process which favors the survival and reproduction of organisms which have better adapted to the environment.
Adaptations or traits which favor the survival of the organisms in environment keep on passing from one generation to the next and with time theses traits get inherited in the population.
For example, in the above situation herbivores with short necks die as they could not reach the leaves that were high up in the trees. In contrast, long neck favors the survival of the organisms due to which only organisms with long necks survive and reproduce. With time, only organisms were left that had long necks.
