Almost 50 percent of water withdrawn in the US, is used up by thermoelectric power plants. The table below shows the amount of w

ater withdrawn in the U.S., in billion gallons per year, between 1950 and 2005.
Year Amount of water withdrawn in the US (in billion gallons per year)
1950 180
1965 340
1975 420
1990 410
2005 410

Based on the table, which of these conclusions is most likely correct?

The number of thermal power plants decreased between 1950 and 1975.

The number of thermal power plants increased between 1950 and 1975.

Thermoelectric power plants used very little water between 1975 and 2005.

Thermoelectric power plants produced very little energy between 1975 and 2005.

Answer:

The number of thermal power plants increased between 1950 and 1975.

Explanation:

Here, the table that shows the amount of water withdrawn in billion gallons per year, between 1950 and 2005,

Year              1950            1965            1975            1990           2005

Amount         180              340             420               410              410

Since, 420 > 180,

Also, 50 percent of water withdrawn is used up by thermometric power plants.

Thus, thermal power plants in 1975 > thermal power plant in 1950

Therefore, the number of thermal power plants increased between 1950 and 1975.

Second option is correct.

Note : first option is incorrect.

Since, by the above table,

The least amount of water used by power plant is 180 billion gallons per year,

Thus, third option is incorrect,

Now, the table does not represents energy produced,

Fourth option can not be said correct.

The probability of a ___________ channel being open is controlled by the membrane potential.
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

(b) Voltage gated

Explanation:

The cell membrane acts as a barrier that separates two aqueous media of different composition, the extracellular and the intracellular, regulating its composition. Most of the liposoluble drugs and solutes, when not ionized, directly cross the cell membrane through a passive diffusion process, which facilitates the passage of the medium where it is more concentrated to the one that is more diluted. The difference in concentration between the two media is called the concentration gradient, and diffusion will continue until this gradient is eliminated. According to Fick's law, the speed of this process will be much faster the higher the concentration gradient and the liposolubility of the molecule and the smaller its size.

More hydrophilic molecules, such as ions, are immiscible in membrane lipids and pass through specific specific transport mechanisms. In some cases, ions pass through hydrophilic pores called ion channels, and in others a favor of their concentration gradient is transported by binding to the transporter or transporter proteins. Both transport systems are passive and therefore do not consume energy. The great advantage is that the ion channels allow the flow of ions through a much higher speed than that of any other biological system. The flow of ions through each channel can be measured as an electric current, which is capable of producing rapid changes in membrane potential.
