Consider one such cell where the magnitude of the potential difference is 40 mV, and the inner surface of the membrane is at a h

igher potential than the outer surface. A sodium ion (Na ) is initially just outside the cell membrane (initially at rest). How much work (in J) is required for a cell to absorb the ion, so that it moves from the exterior of the cell to the interior

Answer: W = 6.4x10⁻²¹J

Explanation: <u>Work</u> is the energy transferred to or from an object due to the application of a force along a displacement.

The ion Na is gaining energy to move from a lower potential to a higher one.

For this to happen, the work done is calculated as

W=q.\Delta V

in which

W is work in Joules (J)

q is charge in Coulomb (C)

\Delta V is potential difference in Volts (V)

The ion Na has one positive charge. In coulombs, the charge is

q = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹C

The potential difference in Volts is

\Delta V = 40x10⁻³ or 4x10⁻²V

Calculating

W=q.\Delta V

W = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹. 4x10⁻²

W = 6.4 x 10⁻²¹ J

The work done to move an ion of sodium from the exterior to the interior is 6.4 x 10⁻²¹ J.

Two species of meadowlarks have different mating calls that lead to reproductive isolation. What type of isolation does this exa
77julia77 [94]
Hi there!

The example of the meadowlarks is an example of behavioral isolation. This is because the mating call is a behavior the birds exhibit. This helps the birds to find their correct mate because though the birds look similar, they are not able to produce offspring.

Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!

a circle fence sourrounding a small yard mesure 84 meters in length if you walk from one side from the other through the middle
anygoal [31]

Answer: 26.75 meters.

2πr = 84

2 * 3.14 * radius = 84

radius = 84/6.28

r= 13.375

So the diameter will be 13.375 + 13.375 which is 26.75 meters.

Rudiy27

Answer:

C. Ringed seal

Explanation:

A marine food web illustrates how energy is passed from one organism (level) to another in this aquatic rich ecosystem.

In the following food web, the interaction goes like this:

  1. The Arctic cod feeds on plankton and silverslides and it is preyed upon beluga whales and ringed seals.
  2. The sea duck goes to the bottom of the ocean to feed on benthic organisms and also consumes plankton and silverslides. It doesn't really have predators.
  3. The beluga whale doesn't really have predators, but it feeds on fish such as silverslades and Arctic cod.
  4. Ringed seals feed on plankton and Arctic cod and are then consumed by polar bears.

Therefore, according to this information, all organisms except the ringed seal feed directly on silverslides.
