The head will face the air because it is hydrophilic. The tails are hydrophobic
Answer:
True
Explanation:
When the resting potential of the membrane is changed, the membrane becomes either more negative inside or less negative. This small deviation from the resting potential is called graded potential. A graded potential occurs when a stimulus triggers opening or closing of the mechanically gated or ligand-gated channels present in the plasma membrane.
For example, the presynaptic neuron releases neurotransmitters in response to a nerve impulse. The neurotransmitter binds to receptors present in the plasma membrane of the postsynaptic neuron and triggers the opening of the ion channels to allow the inflow of particular ions to flow. The flow of ions changes the voltage across the membrane. This change in membrane voltage is a postsynaptic potential and is a type of graded potential.

Answer:
B
Explanation:
When humans dig-up fossil fuels and burn them to power the modern world, <u>carbon flows between the Geosphere/lithosphere and the atmosphere.</u>
Both the geosphere and the atmosphere represent important reservoirs of carbon. The digging-up of fossil fuels, otherwise known as exploration, is carried out in the geosphere or the lithosphere part of the earth. For example, crude oil is obtained deep from the ground. When the fuels are burned, they release carbon in the form of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
<em>Hence, it can be concluded that carbon flows from the geosphere/lithosphere part of the earth to the atmospheric portion of the earth when fossil fuels are burned.</em>
The correct option is B.
