surface of the membrane which becomes less negative and the exterior surface becomes less positive. Additionally‚ when depolarization reaches a certain threshold‚ an action potential is initiated and the polarity of the membrane reverses. 4. What is the difference between membrane irritability and membrane conductivity? Membrane irritability is the ability to respond to stimuli and convert them into nerve impulses and conductivity is the ability to transmit an impulse (in this case‚ to take

Animals and Plants Extinctions causes and effects on human Nowadays ‚ animal extinction is a broad issue‚ one that involves the habitats and environments where other species live and interact with one another . Only a minority of people are concerned with extinction in today痴 society‚ while others might argue that it is a small problem because we are beyond the point of evolution and thus don’t really need to rely on other animals at all. According to statistics of scientific research

Aim: This experiment will aim to show how the amount of substrate affects the rate of the reaction. Hypothesis: In this experiment I think the amount of substrate will simply increase the reaction. As I increase the surface area of the potato the gas given off from the reaction will increase. Therefore to sum things up‚ my hypothesis is when the Independent variable increases so will the dependant variable. Independent variable: - Surface area of potato Dependant variable: - Gas Controlled
