Answer:

Explanation:

From the information given:

The cell potential on mars E = + 100 mV

By using Goldman's equation:

E_m = \dfrac{RT}{zF}In \Big (\dfrac{P_K[K^+]_{out}+P_{Na}[Na^+]_{out}+P_{Cl}[Cl^-]_{out} }{P_K[K^+]_{in}+P_{Na}[Na^+]_{in}+ P_{Cl}[Cl^-]_{in}}      \Big )

Let's take a look at the impermeable cell with respect to two species;

and the two species be Na⁺ and Cl⁻

E_m = \dfrac{RT}{zF} In \dfrac{[K^+]_{out}}{[K^+]_{in}}

where;

z = ionic charge on the species = + 1

F = faraday constant

∴

100 \times 10^{-3} = \Big (\dfrac{8.314 \times 298}{1\times 96485} \Big) \mathtt{In}  \Big ( \dfrac{4}{[K^+]_{in}}   \Big)

100 \times 10^{-3} = 0.0257 \Big ( \dfrac{4}{[K^+]_{in}}   \Big)

3.981= \mathtt{In} \Big ( \dfrac{4}{[K^+]_{in}}   \Big)

exp ( 3.981) = \dfrac{4}{[K^+]_{in}} \\ \\  53.57 = \dfrac{4}{[K^+]_{in}}

[K^+]_{in} = \dfrac{4}{53.57}

[K^+]_{in}  = 0.0476

For [Cl⁻]:

100 \times 10^{-3} = -0.0257 \  \mathtt{In} \Big ( \dfrac{120}{[Cl^-]_{in}}   \Big)

-3.981 =  \  \mathtt{In} \Big ( \dfrac{120}{[Cl^-]_{in}}   \Big)

0.01867 =  \dfrac{120}{[Cl^-]_{in}}

[Cl^-]_{in} = \dfrac{120}{0.01867}

[Cl^-]_{in} =6427.4

For [Na⁺]:

100 \times 10^{-3} = 0.0257 \Big ( \dfrac{145}{[Na^+]_{in}}   \Big)

53.57= \Big ( \dfrac{145}{[Na^+]_{in}}   \Big)

[Na^+]_{in}= 2.70

Where is the meristem located?
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Meristems are classified by their location in the plant as apical (located at root and shoot tips), lateral (in the vascular and cork cambia), and intercalary (at internodes, or stem regions between the places at which leaves attach, and leaf bases, especially of certain monocotyledons—e.g., grasses).

Which of these sentences characterizes the regulatory mechanisms of gene expressions in organisms?
scZoUnD [109]
<span>According to a source the answer is B. They save energy and metabolites and help the organisms to respond to the environmental changes.

</span>A genotype is a set of genes in the human DNA responsible for different traits. It represents your complete identity that you will inherit from your parents and ancestors.
<span>On the other hand, a phenotype is how that trait expresses physically, a characteristic, a visible description of your physical features, including height, eye color, overall health, history of diseases, the ability to gain or lose weight fast, what type of food you like, what you enjoy and what you hate. </span>

A species of a hippo mates once a year every February 14. in the same community a different species of hippo mates a year in mar
xz_007 [3.2K]

The answer is ‘behavioral isolation’. It is a form of sympatric speciation - which occurs even when species live in the same habitat. In this case, the individuals in the population are isolated by differences in mating and probably different mating rituals.
