Answer:

D_m=1/2      

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

2 species

Assuming that questions a and be are solved

Diversity index D=2p_1p_2

with p_1 +p_2 =1

Mathematically

D=2p_1(1-p_1)

D=2(p_1-p_1^2)

D=2({\frac{1}{4} -(p_1-1/2)^2}

Therefore

D=\frac{1}{2} -2(p_1-1/2)^2

Giving

D_m=1/2      

p_1=1/2

If the na+ voltage-gated channels in a muscle cell open, what will be the result?
sammy [17]
If the Na+ voltage-gated channels in a muscle cell open, the Na (sodium) ions rush inside the muscle cell and makes the cell more positive as Na ions carry positive charge on it. Due to the entry of positively charged ions inside the cell, the cell becomes less negative and more positive. This is called depolarization of cell.
