(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether a cell depolarize or hyperpolarize when Cl- channel opens.

Introduction: Polarization is the electric difference across the cell membrane. It is the process of producing positive and negative electric charges inside the cell with respect to the surroundings.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether a cell depolarize or hyperpolarize when K+ channel opens.

Introduction: Resting potential of a cell is -70 mV. When resting potential alters, the cell either becomes hyperpolarize or depolarize. It becomes more negative or more positive.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether a cell depolarize or hyperpolarize when Na+ channel opens.

Introduction: At rest, a neuron has a resting potential of -70 mV. This states that inside of the cell is more negatively charged than the surrounding. When resting potential increases or decreases, a neuron transmits the message.

What are biofertilizers and mention the significance
PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen.     How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population? Based on your reading of the materials in this unit, what factors can affect fertility in humans?   Explain how each of the factors affecting human fertility that you described can disrupt the human endocrine system to affect reproduction.
Other than oil and alcohol, are there other liquids you could compare to water (that are liquid at room temperature)? How is water unique compared to these other liquids? What follow-up experiment would you like to do, and how would you relate it to your life?
