MAVERICK [17]3 years ago

Answer:

The resting membrane potential is created and maintained due to the difference in the total charge or ions present outside and inside of the cell. The resting membrane potential depolarize if sodium come in and and potassium leaves the cell.

Explanation:

The resting membrane is maintained and created by the distribution of potassium and sodium ions. The membrane potential of a resting cell is -70mV (negative) because more sodium ions is present outside the cell than the potassium ions present inside the cell.

When the sodium ions enter inside the cell and potassium ions move outside the cell, the inside of the cell becomes more positive as compared to the outside and the membrane potential changes from -70 mV to +30 mV. The cells will depolarize due to the accumulation of sodium ions inside the cell.

Autonomic centers in the ________ exert neural control over hormone secretion by the adrenal medullae. a) pineal gland b) pituit
frez [133]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-E

Explanation:

The autonomic nervous system or ANS activity in the brain is mainly controlled and regulated by the hypothalamus structure. The autonomic centres of the hypothalamus control the hormonal secretion adrenal medulla like adrenaline and norepinephrine.

The secretion of the hypothalamus controls the activity of the vasomotor center which help maintain the blood pressure.

Thus, option-hypothalamus is the correct answer.

Which of the following best describes the pattern of microbial death? Which of the following best describes the pattern of micro
____ [38]

Answer:

The cells in a population die at a constant rate

Explanation:

Microbial death is the loss of the ability of microbes to reproduce and survive in an environment. When a given microbial population is given a treatment, the microbial cells die at a constant rate. Microbial death rate  is not dependent on the specie and nor on the antimicrobial agent.

Therefore, the microbial cells in a population does not die at once but die at a constant logarithmic rate; the cells decreases exponentially as nutrients decreases and waste product increases.

For example, if 500,000 microbes are treated or in a nutrient depleted environment and 50,000 microbes is left after 1 minute, by the next minute under the same condition 5,000 microbial cells will be left and this pattern will continue, this explains exponential decrease
