A cell's membrane potential is maintained by the movement of ions into and out of the cell. A model showing the influence of membrane proteins on the movement of sodium and potassium ions across the plasma membrane is represented in Figure 1. Based on the model represented in Figure 1 which of the following outcomes will most likely result in a loss of protein x function? a. the membrane potential will be disrupted by an increase in Na+ concentration inside the cell.
b. The membrane potential will be disrupted by an increase in K+ concentration inside the cell.
c. The membrane potential will be maintained by the Na+ -K+ pump moving more K+ ions into the cell.
d. The membrane potential will be maintained by the diffusion of Na+ ions in the cell.

The diagram below represents a marine food web and a process that can harm the human population. each circle represents an organism and the smaller dots inside them represent a toxic substance. what is being represented and how does it harm the population? the diagram represents biological half-life, in which toxins build up in organisms higher up on the food chain, and this can negatively impact humans who consume the organisms and the toxic substance. the diagram represents biomagnification, in which toxins build up in organisms higher up on the food chain, and this can negatively impact humans who consume the organisms and the toxic substance. the diagram represents the process by which different organisms prey upon each other; this can impact the human population by reducing the number of organisms that do not contain the toxin. the diagram represents the way that toxins are metabolized by living organisms, with those at greater trophic levels able to metabolize more efficiently than those at lower levels. this means that those at higher tropic levels are safer for humans to consume compared to the organisms at lower trophic levels.

An ecologist studied the same species of deer during the summer and the winter. she noticed that during the summer, when there was plenty of food, the deer were energetic and playful. however, during winter when food was scarce, the deer moved more slowly and did not run unless they needed to escape a predator. which scientific fact is best supported by her observations?
