Answer:
a. Remaining at rest requires the use of ATP.
Explanation:
The resting membrane potential is maintained by the sodium-potassium pump. The sodium potassium pump does this by actively pumping sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions inside the cell in a ratio of 3:2. This movement of ions by the sodium-potassium pump is against their concentration gradient. In a neuron at rest, there are more sodium ions outside the cell than there are inside the cell. Also, there are are more potassium ions inside the cell than there are outside the cell. However, there are ion channels through which these ions enter and leave the cell. Sodium ion channels allow sodium to enter the cell following its concentration gradient, whereas, potassium ion channels allow potassium to leave the cell following its concentration gradient. However, more potassium ions leave the cell than do sodium ions enter the cell because of the higher permeability of the cell to potassium ions.
In order to maintain the resting membrane potential, the sodium potassium pump powered by the hydrolysis of an ATP molecules pumps sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell.
<em>Therefore, the correct option is A, as ATP is needed by the sodium-potassium pump in order to maintain the resting membrane potential.</em>
Answer:
1 is B, 2 is B a cold front
Explanation:
In order for a front to form, two air masses have to collide, and for 2 a cold front is represented by a red ljine with half circles
Until well in the 60ties, the luminous dials of wrist watches and alarm clocks were marked with luminous paints containing Radium (Ra-226) or Promethium (Pm-147). These kind of watches are no longer manufactured today. This is not due to the radiation exposure to the persons wearing the watches but because of the radiological risk for the persons manufacturing them.
Hope this helps
Answer:
protactinium-234,
Explanation:
This is what happens when thorium-234 releases a W- boson, which then decays to an electron and an electron antineutrino.
