Answer #1

DIFFUSION , yes it is the diffusion process that will cause the movement of ions from higher concentrations to lower concentration.

Diffusion which is the specific movement of a substance that can be ion or a molecule from an area of higher concentration to an area of low concentration of the ions . Diffusion mainly happens in the liquids and gases because their particles move very randomly . Diffusion is a very an important process for the living things. it is is the specific process by which the ions move in and out of cells.

How does the concentration of potassium in the blood affect the resting membrane potential, and ability of excitable cells to reach threshold? a. Hypokemia causes more potassium than normal to leave the cells because there is an increased concentration gradient. This raises the resting membrane potential making cells more excitable. b. Hypokemia causes more potassium than normal to leave the cells because there is an increased concentration gradient. This lowers the resting membrane potential making cells less excitable. Sometimes one...

Chemiosomotic hypothesis 1: Positively charged ions, like protons, are pumped across mitochondrial membranes in an electrical potential-generating process by the flow of electrons down an electron transfer chain from a high energy state to a low energy state. Chemiosomotic hypothesis 2: The flow of ions or protons down an electrochemical gradient can be used to transport other molecules against a concentration gradient. Chemiosomotic hypothesis 3: The flow ions or protons down an electrochemical gradient can be used to drive energy-requiring...
