Answer:
Neurons, as with other excitable cells in the body, have two major physiological properties: irritability and conductivity. A neuron has a positive charge on the outer surface of the cell membrane due in part to the action of an active transport system called the sodium potassium pump. This system moves sodium (Na+) out of the cell and potassium (K+) into the cell. The inside of the cell membrane is negative, not only due to the active transport system but also because of intracellular proteins, which remain negative due to the intracellular pH and keep the inside of the cell membrane negative.
Explanation:
Neurons are cells with the capacity to transmit information between one another and also with other tissues in the body. This information is transmitted thanks to the release of substances called <em>neurotransmitters</em>, and this transmission is possible due to the <em>electrical properties </em>of the neurons.
For the neurons (and other excitable cells, such as cardiac muscle cells) to be capable of conducting the changes in their membranes' voltages, they need to have a<em> resting membrane potential</em>, which consists of a specific voltage that is given because of the electrical nature of both the inside and the outside of the cell. <u>The inside of the cell is negatively charged, while the outside is positively charged</u> - this is what generates the resting membrane potential. When the membrane voltage changes because the inside of the cell is becoming less negative, the neuron is being excited and - if this excitation reaches a threshold - an action potential will be fired. But how does the voltage changes? This happens because the distribution of ions in the intracellular and extracellular fluids is very dissimilar and when the sodium channels in the cell membrane are opened (because of an external stimulus), sodium enters the cell rapidly to balance out the difference in this ion concentration. The sudden influx of this positively-charged ion is what makes the inside of the neuron become less negative. This event is called <em>depolarization of the membrane</em>.
Answer:
Secondary
Explanation:
There are several levels of prevention. You might confuse this with primary prevention. Primary prevention is preventing infection, so it has to be done before the patient caught the disease.
The needle-exchange program aims to reduce the spread of blood-borne disease(HIV, hepatitis, etc) from the multiple usages of the same needle. Since the disease already exists, this will be secondary prevention.
Whale shark reproduction can be by laying eggs that is also called oviparity where the female deposits eggs in the algae or rocks. The embryos formed inside the eggs and feed on the yolk. They can also reproduce through viviparity which means by giving birth just like mammals wherein they are born fully formed. This reproduction process is through the placental link to the eggs wherein the yolk sac grows within a placenta that is connected to the wall of the uterus and gives the offspring the nutrients vital for their growth. Another reproduction process is through Ovoviviparity where eggs are formed inside the mother where the eggs hatch within the oviduct of the female and the young feed on the egg yolk of the yolk sac and the fluids that the walls of the oviduct secrete since the mother does not provide any food directly. Once the eggs are ready, eggs hatch inside the mother and it pups keep getting food from their surroundings until they are fully developed. The number of their offspring and the length of the gestation periods varies according to the species. Probably a female of some species may have only two offspring, but some other species may have between forty and eighty. The small sharks have shorter gestation period compared to large species that last from three to four months or up to more than two years. The large ones reproduce every two years, while the little ones have offspring each year. This is why the reproduction process of whale shark is not known in detail.
Answer:
C) 3
Explanation:
So the one that has a group of three would be the Passive Transport the first one's effect would be Diffusion and the second and third are both together which will be Facilitated diffusion Hope this helps!
The rate of passive transport depends on the permeability of the cell membrane, which, in turn, depends on the organization and characteristics of the membrane lipids and proteins. The four main kinds of passive transport are simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, filtration, and/or osmosis.
