In medical industry, Medical devices use adhesives as one example of application of Intermolecular Forces of Attraction. Adhesives are used extensively in th medical world, from simple plasters to advanced medical applications. Adhesives are integral to the production of paper tissues and nappies, allow tablets to be protected from the effects of moisture and allow wounds to be dressed. Trans dermal patches, such as nicotine patch, permit a controlled delivery of nicotine into the bloodstream to help smokers quit. What are other line of work that applies the Intermolecular forces of Attraction. At least one example and its use in the certain field of work.
Which of the following is true about the movement of ions across excitable living membranes? Ions can move passively across membranes through leakage channels Some ions are prevented from moving down their concentration gradient by ATP-driven pumps. Ion gates in the membrane can open in response to electrical potential changes. All of these are correct.
