Remember the definition of Osmosis; Water travels through a semipermeable membrane to an area of higher to lower concentration. Since the concentration of a solute is higher outside, we can make the assumption that water concentration is lower, and so the cell is going to release water to balance out and equalize the solution and it's surroundings.
Answer:
Explanation:
The cell membrane separates the cell from the outer environment. The extracellular fluid contains the sodium ions (Na+), chloride ions (Cl-), while intracellular fluid contains potassium (K +) and negative anions.
The potential difference arises when the membrane is selectively permeable to some ions. The resting potential is -70mV.
When the neurons get excited, the sodium ions start to enter by sodium channels.
Now there are more positive ions inside the cell membrane. It disturbs the resting potential i.e. -70mV. This stage is known as depolarization.
When the inside environment of the cell is more positively charged, the potassium ions start to move out of the cell. It goes out by the voltage-gated channels. Thus resting stage is maintained and it is known as repolarization.
But the initial stability of the cell membrane has to be maintained. To restore the resting stage, the sodium ions start to move out of the membrane and potassium ions enter into the cells again. This is an active transport and has done by the Na+ - K+ pump. Here 3 sodium ions move out and 2 potassium ions pumped into the cell through the plasma membrane.
Thus the resting potential regains. The potassium ions come back into the cells against the concentration gradient and ATP provides the energy for this phenomena.
Answer:
Inner planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars
Outer planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
They all orbit the sun, have a core, are round, and have gravity.
Jupiter vs. Venus: They both have reflective atmospheres. Jupiter is much larger and is a gas planet. Venus is smaller and has a rocky surface.

It depends upon the protein and also where the deletion of the single amino acid has occurred. Does ur alter or disrupt an important fundamental function or aspect of the protein such as the capability of substrates to bind to the active site, or is near a region that is primarily for developing the additional structure of the protein and is not as important. In most cases, a single amino acid change will not cause the protein to lose its complete function of be denatured.
