A change in membrane permeability or ion concentration will change the resting membrane potential.

Biology

Fudgin [204]2 years ago

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Resting membrane potential is dependent on the following two factors –  

a) Concentration of ions –  When a neuron is in a resting position, sodium and potassium gradients develop. When an ion moves because of this gradient , resting potential is created. Any change in the ion concentration will change the concentration gradient which eventually will change the resting membrane potential.  

b) Membrane permeability – The membrane is more permeable to the potassium ion as compared to the sodium ion, thus the resting membrane potential is more inclined towards the equilibrium potential of potassium .

It is true <span>that a change in membrane permeability or ion concentration will change the resting membrane potential. A resting neuron has a voltage across its membrane called the resting membrane potential. The resting potential is determined by the concentration gradient of ions across the membrane and by membrane permeability to each type of ion. In aresting neuron, there are concentrations gradients across the membrane for Na+ and K+. Ions move down their gradients via channels, leading to a separation of charge that ceates the resting potential.</span>

What happens when the sun heats up water in earths surface and turns it into water vapor?
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Evaporation – Evaporation happens when heat from the Sun turns liquid water into water vapor (gas). About 90% of the water in the atmosphere comes from evaporation. Most evaporation occurs in the oceans, because they cover so much of Earth's surface. The sweat evaporates into the air.

As the salamander’s wound heals, it’s body cells are dividing to repair the damage. How is this type of cell division similar to
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Wound healing is a process to regenerate cells at the site of an injury or infection. Asexual reproduction is a process in which daughter cells are produced from a single cell or organism.

The wound healing process is similar to asexual reproduction because both the processes use mitosis for cell division. As a result of mitosis, two daughter cells are produced which are identical to the parent cells. Hence, during wound healing and asexual reproduction, the same cells as the parent cells are produced.

<span>Increased activity of merocrine sweat glands

Merocrine refers to the exocrine glands (or cells) whose secretions are excreted outside of the cell from the secretory cells, then into an epithelial-walled duct(s), and finally onto the surface of the body. Merocrine secretions from the sweat glands are specifically called eccrine. 

Sweat glands are structures of the skin that produce sweat in order to cool the body upon evaporation of the sweat. As a person grows older, his sweat glands become less active. This could impair perspiration or sweating, and increases the risks of overheating in the elderly. </span>
