Answer:
Explanation:
From the information given:
The cell potential on mars E = + 100 mV
By using Goldman's equation:
![E_m = \dfrac{RT}{zF}In \Big (\dfrac{P_K[K^+]_{out}+P_{Na}[Na^+]_{out}+P_{Cl}[Cl^-]_{out} }{P_K[K^+]_{in}+P_{Na}[Na^+]_{in}+ P_{Cl}[Cl^-]_{in}} \Big )](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E_m%20%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7BRT%7D%7BzF%7DIn%20%5CBig%20%28%5Cdfrac%7BP_K%5BK%5E%2B%5D_%7Bout%7D%2BP_%7BNa%7D%5BNa%5E%2B%5D_%7Bout%7D%2BP_%7BCl%7D%5BCl%5E-%5D_%7Bout%7D%20%7D%7BP_K%5BK%5E%2B%5D_%7Bin%7D%2BP_%7BNa%7D%5BNa%5E%2B%5D_%7Bin%7D%2B%20P_%7BCl%7D%5BCl%5E-%5D_%7Bin%7D%7D%20%20%20%20%20%20%5CBig%20%29)
Let's take a look at the impermeable cell with respect to two species;
and the two species be Na⁺ and Cl⁻
![E_m = \dfrac{RT}{zF} In \dfrac{[K^+]_{out}}{[K^+]_{in}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E_m%20%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7BRT%7D%7BzF%7D%20In%20%5Cdfrac%7B%5BK%5E%2B%5D_%7Bout%7D%7D%7B%5BK%5E%2B%5D_%7Bin%7D%7D)
where;
z = ionic charge on the species = + 1
F = faraday constant
∴

B. Sunlight doesn't reach the bottom of lakes..
Nature does = environmental stress or changes
Answer:
Explanation:
Waxy cuticle is a white powdery substance that is insoluble, it is found usually on the surface of stem or leave and it prevent excessive loss of water through transpiration.
It is an adaptive mechanism used in dry areas or desert to help plants retain water that is needed for their growth by reducing amount of water loss through transpiration.
Cactus is an example of plant with cuticle that thrive well in dry areas
