What do you understand by membrane potential?

Using diagram(s) describe the genesis of the membrane potential

Answers

Answer 1
Membrane potential is the difference in electric potential between the interior and the exterior of a biological cell. Membrane potential is a potential gradient that forces ions to passively move in one direction: positive ions are attracted by the 'negative' side of the membrane and negative ions by the 'positive' one.

Explain why the blue color of starch-iodine complex disappears upon heating?

Answers

Answer: Starch is a long polymer molecule in one shape of a coil. The iodine molecules goes inside of the coil and this is what makes it turn blue/black. Iodine is a diatomic element with the formula, I2.

Explanation:

Answer:

This is because the compound of iodine and starch is unstable, but if you put the test tube in cold water, a dark blue sediment will form once more. When starch is heated to boiling point, it begins to break down, and the chains of amyloses break, thus, forming short chains of dextrins, so the colour starts to change.

What is the difference between global effects and local effects.

Answers

Answer:

golbal means around the world but local means next to you

Answer:

A global effect generally affects, as the term implies, the world as a whole, or at least a major part of the world, while a local effect would be just in a distinctive area.

For example, if the world is heating up due to CO2 emissions, it heats up in an global effect, resulting in the median temperature rising in all areas of the world. However, the world heating up may only mean a drought in distinctive areas that are typically already leaning towards the drier side (local effect), while the others receive a greater than usual volume of water due to rising temperatures.

assume that life on Mars requires cell potential to be 100mV, and the extracellular concentrations of the three major species are following (mmol/L): Na : 145; K : 4; Cl- : 120. Choose one species and assume that other two probabilities are zero. Design the cell by calculating the intracellular concentration of the chosen species.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

From the information given:

The cell potential on mars E = + 100 mV

By using Goldman's equation:

[tex]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 )[/tex]

Let's take a look at the impermeable cell with respect to two species;

and the two species be Na⁺ and Cl⁻

[tex]E_m = \dfrac{RT}{zF} In \dfrac{[K^+]_{out}}{[K^+]_{in}}[/tex]

where;

z = ionic charge on the species = + 1

F = faraday constant

[tex]100 \times 10^{-3} = \Big (\dfrac{8.314 \times 298}{1\times 96485} \Big) \mathtt{In} \Big ( \dfrac{4}{[K^+]_{in}} \Big)[/tex]

[tex]100 \times 10^{-3} = 0.0257 \Big ( \dfrac{4}{[K^+]_{in}} \Big)[/tex]

[tex]3.981= \mathtt{In} \Big ( \dfrac{4}{[K^+]_{in}} \Big)[/tex]

[tex]exp ( 3.981) = \dfrac{4}{[K^+]_{in}} \\ \\ 53.57 = \dfrac{4}{[K^+]_{in}}[/tex]

[tex][K^+]_{in} = \dfrac{4}{53.57}[/tex]

[tex][K^+]_{in} = 0.0476[/tex]

For [Cl⁻]:

[tex]100 \times 10^{-3} = -0.0257 \ \mathtt{In} \Big ( \dfrac{120}{[Cl^-]_{in}} \Big)[/tex]

[tex]-3.981 = \ \mathtt{In} \Big ( \dfrac{120}{[Cl^-]_{in}} \Big)[/tex]

[tex]0.01867 = \dfrac{120}{[Cl^-]_{in}}[/tex]

[tex][Cl^-]_{in} = \dfrac{120}{0.01867}[/tex]

[tex][Cl^-]_{in} =6427.4[/tex]

For [Na⁺]:

[tex]100 \times 10^{-3} = 0.0257 \Big ( \dfrac{145}{[Na^+]_{in}} \Big)[/tex]

[tex]53.57= \Big ( \dfrac{145}{[Na^+]_{in}} \Big)[/tex]

[tex][Na^+]_{in}= 2.70[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Earth's Spheres

Everything in Earth's system can be placed into one of four major subsystems: land, water, living things, or air. These four subsystems are called “spheres.” Specifically, they are the lithosphere (land), hydrosphere (water), biosphere (living things), and atmosphere (air). Each of these four spheres can be further divided into sub-spheres. To keep things simple in this course, there will be no distinction among the sub-spheres of any of the four major spheres.

Lithosphere - Land

The lithosphere contains all of the cold, hard solid land of the planet's crust (surface), the semi-solid land underneath the crust, and the liquid land near the center of the planet.* The surface of the lithosphere is very uneven (see image on right). There are high mountain ranges like the Rockies and Andes (shown in red), huge plains or flat areas like those in Texas, Iowa, and Brazil (shown in green), and deep valleys along the ocean floor (shown in blue).

The solid, semi-solid, and liquid land of the lithosphere form layers that are physically and chemically different. If someone were to cut through Earth to its center, these layers would be revealed like the layers of an onion (see right image above). The outermost layer of the lithosphere consists of loose soil rich in nutrients, oxygen, and silicon. Beneath that layer lies a very thin, solid crust of oxygen and silicon. Next is a thick, semi-solid mantle of oxygen, silicon, iron, and magnesium. Below that is a liquid outer core of nickel and iron. At the center of Earth is a solid inner core of nickel and iron.

* Note: The word "lithosphere" can take on different meanings depending on the speaker and the audience. For example, many geologists--scientists who study the geologic formations of Earth--reserve the word "lithosphere" to mean only the cold, hard surface of Earth, not the entire inside of the planet. For the purpose of this course, however, there will be no distinction among the various layers of land. The word "lithosphere" will be used in reference to all land in Earth's system.

Hydrosphere - Water

The hydrosphere contains all the solid, liquid, and gaseous water of the planet.** It ranges from 10 to 20 kilometers in thickness. The hydrosphere extends from Earth's surface downward several kilometers into the lithosphere and upward about 12 kilometers into the atmosphere.

A small portion of the water in the hydrosphere is fresh (non-salty). This water flows as precipitation from the atmosphere down to Earth's surface, as rivers and streams along Earth's surface, and as groundwater beneath Earth's surface. Most of Earth's fresh water, however, is frozen.

Ninety-seven percent of Earth's water is salty. The salty water collects in deep valleys along Earth's surface. These large collections of salty water are referred to as oceans. The image above depicts the different temperatures one would find on oceans' surfaces. Water near the poles is very cold (shown in dark purple), while water near the equator is very warm (shown in light blue). The differences in temperature cause water to change physical states. Extremely low temperatures like those found at the poles cause water to freeze into a solid such as a polar icecap, a glacier, or an iceberg. Extremely high temperatures like those found at the equator cause water to evaporate into a gas.

** Note: Some scientists place frozen water--glaciers, icecaps, and icebergs--in its own sphere called the "cryosphere." For the purpose of this course, however, frozen water will be included as part of the hydrosphere. The word "hydrosphere" will be used in reference to all water in Earth's system.

Biosphere - Living Things

The biosphere contains all the planet's living things. This sphere includes all of the microorganisms, plants, and animals of Earth.***

Within the biosphere, living things form ecological communities based on the physical surroundings of an area. These communities are referred to as biomes. Deserts, grasslands, and tropical rainforests are three of the many types of biomes that exist within the biosphere.

Explanation:

The minimum pressure applied to a solution to prevent the entering the flow of its pure solvent through q semipermeable membrane. The process of flowing the pure solvent to the solution through a semipermeable pressure is known as osmosis and the minimum pressure required to preventing the osmosis is osmotic pressure.

Many plants springing up through tree roots growing through concrete. Due to osmotic pressure, the plants grow they require more water, the inexorable osmotic pressure of water moves through the membranes can actually push through asphalt!

What process can occur between non-homologous chromosomes while in the tetrad configuration?

Answers

When homologous chromosomes form pairs during prophase I of meiosis I, crossing-over can occur. Crossing-over is the exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes. It results in new combinations of genes on each chromosome.

When cells divide during meiosis, homologous chromosomes are randomly distributed during anaphase I, separating and segregating independently of each other. This is called independent assortment. It results in gametes that have unique combinations of chromosomes.
