Hello. Please, can you help me with answers to these question? thank you

1- the interior surface of a resting cell membrane is ................compared to the external environment.

the answer is it: negatively charged and contains more sodium?

2- what are the 2 factors that help to maintain the resting potential in neurons?

3- immediately after an action potential has peaked, which cellular gates open? a) sodium, b)chloride, c) calcium, d)sulfur. E)potassium

Smaller mammals and birds have faster heart rates than larger ones. It would be useful to have a model that might explain this variation in heart rates. A warm-blooded animal uses large quantities of energy in order to maintain body temperature, because of heat loss through its body surface. Since cold-blooded animals require very little energy when they are resting, the major energy drain on a resting warm blooded animal seems to be maintenance of body temperature. Let’s explore a model based on this idea. The amount of energy available is roughly proportional to blood flow through the heart to the lungs – the source of oxygen. At rest, the amount of energy available is proportional to the amount of heat lost, which is proportional to body surface area. (a) Show that the basal (resting) blood flow f is related to the body weight w by (approximately) f ∝ w 2/3 . Define all the variables that you use. (b) Derive a model that relates basal pulse rate p to body weight w as (approximately) p ∝ w −1/3 . What assumption(s) did you make about hearts?

2. The equilibrium potential of K+ ions in nerve cells is about-90mV. The membrane potential of a typical nerve cells at rist is-70mV. Therfore

a) Increasing the permeability of a resting neuronal membrane toK+ ions will increase the membrane potential (that is, make it morenegative, inside with respcect to outside)

b) In nerve cells at rest, there is a net diffusion of K+ ionsout of the cell

c) Increasing the membrane potential of a nerve cell would slowthe diffusion of K+ ions out of it.
