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.

In horses, black color (B) dominates chestnut color (b). The trotting gait (T) dominates the pacing gait (t). A cross is made be
Gre4nikov [31]

Black B is dominant over chestnut color b and trotting gait T is dominant over pacing gait t. The answer is 100%. Since all offspring have at least one dominant black hair allele that overwhelms the brown hair allele, all offspring are expected to have black hair.

Phenotype refers to the physical color of a horse's coat or the way genes are expressed. Phenotype II FMF in Familial Mediterranean Fever is the onset of amyloidosis prior to the onset of his FMF with typical attacks or is an isolated finding in members of the FMF family.

White horses have pink skin. White fur mane tail, and hooves. and dark brown eyes. White is the dominant trait W at the white locus. White horse genotype must be heterozygous dominant We. Homozygous dominant because WW is more likely to cause early embryonic loss. Scientists conclude that horses were first domesticated 6,000 years ago in the western part of the Eurasian steppe, in what is now western Ukraine and Kazakhstan.

A chronic bone disease that is characterized by the abnormal breakdown of bone followed by abnormal bone formation is known as
Sidana [21]

Answer:

Paget's disease

Explanation:

  • When cellular deforming and remodelling of many bones takes place and this occurs as a chronic condition then this is known as Paget's disease.
  • There is excessive breakdown of bone as well as disorganised formation of new bones.
  • Such problem leads to weakening of the bone due to which complications such as deformity, fracture and arthritis occurs.
  • The disease does not spread from one bone to another and the entire skeleton is not affected in such a disease, it only affect few or more bones.
  • There is currently no known cure for the disease.
