Answer:

Active transport by the Na+-K+ pump

Explanation:

Active transport by the Na+-K+ pump

Maintenance (and restoration) of the resting ion concentrations depends on the Na+-K+ pump. Once gated ion channels are closed, the combined action of the pump and ion leakage (particularly that of K+) establishes a resting membrane potential in a typical neuron of around âˆ'70 mV.

Determine two complex numbers, (a+bi) and (c+di), where a and d are irrational numbers and b and c are rational number

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

The two complex numbers are $\sqrt2 + 5i \text{ and } 6 + \sqrt5i$

Explanation:

We have to form two complex numbers of the form

$a + ib\\c + id$

such that and d are irrational numbers and b and c are rational numbers.

We know that $\sqrt2, \sqrt3$ are irrational numbers.

5 and 6 are rational numbers.

We put

$a = \sqrt2\\b = 5\\c = 6\\d = \sqrt5\\a+ib = \sqrt2 + 5i\\c + id = 6 + \sqrt5i$

Thus, the two complex numbers are: $\sqrt2 + 5i \text{ and } 6 + \sqrt5i$

To make pickles, fresh cucumbers are soaked in a salt water solution called brine. how many liters of a 4% brine solution must b

Mama L [17]

<span>This can be solved using basic algebra. X equals the number of liters of 2% brine to add. Therefore we use this equation. 3 + 0.02x = 2.4 + 0.08x 0.6 = 0.6x x = 0..6/0.06 x = 10</span>
