How do sodium and potassium leak channels play a role in the development of the negative membrane potential of the axolemma (pla

sma membrane of the axon)?
Biology

kirza4 [7]2 years ago

The plasma membrane of axon is called axolemma. The potassium and sodium leak channels leak the sodium and potassium ions inside the cell respectively. The leak channels provide the constant movement of ions across the membrane. Potassium and sodium ions are positively charged, thus entry of positively charged ions inside the cell makes the cell more positively charged than the environment outside the cell. The environment outside the cell becomes more negatively charged. This leads in the negative membrane potential of axolemma.

The pH indicator bromothymol blue is blue in an alkaline solution and yellow in an acidic solution. A slight increase in acidity
bazaltina [42]

The question is incomplete, however, the missing part is given as below:

A. Yeast cells and sugar are placed in the solution. B. Water plants in the solution are placed under a bright lamp. C. Algae are placed in the solution and left in a dark room. D. A person blows air into the solution through a straw.

Answer:

The correct answer is - B. Water plants in the solution are placed under a bright lamp.

Explanation:

As we know adding carbon dioxide in as solution result in the change of its acidity this is the result in the indicator to change from blue to yellow. In the question, it is asked that what factors from the given option will cause yellow indictor to blue which means what factors cause the solution to be alkaline from acidic.

Placing the green water plants in the solution under a bright lamp will cause the is utilizing and remove present carbon dioxide in the solution and leads the to blue color from the yellow color of the solution.

Approximately how much more free energy is supplied to the electron transport chain by nadh than by fadh2?
erastovalidia [21]
Is supplied aproximately two more electrons by NADH than by FADH2.

FADH2 enters the electron transport chain later than NADH. <span>The electron transport chain is made of protein complexes and the passage of an electron through each complex releases a H+ across the membrane. The movement of these H+ creates potential energy as electrochemical gradient that will later generate energy for the enzyme ATP synthase to produce ATP. NADH starts giving these electrons at an earlier stage than FADH2 supplying more energy to the electron transport chain.</span>

How has agriculture affected nitrogen cycling? what are some negative consequences of nutrient enrichment?
Tcecarenko [31]
<span>Fertilizers are added to agriculture, and less than half of the materials in fertilizers are actually utilized by plants. The remaining materials pollute the ground water, attach to soil particles, and pollute the atmosphere. Polluted groundwater can contaminate well water. Soil particles with attached nutrients affect microbes and the plants themselves. Atmospheric pollution results in atmospheric nitrogen decomposition, meaning excess nitrogenous materials are added to ecosystems which thereby alter the natural ecosystem.</span>
