Which process requires more energy from the plant, moving water up through the xylem or moving nutrients down through the phloem? explain.

answer; i believe the correct answer is (replication is not conservative);

the answer that best describes the relative refractory period in the neuron is the resting membrane potential is restored, but concentrations of sodium and potassium are not restored to their original state.

the refractory period is the time during which another stimulus given to the neuron will not lead to a second potential. thus, because na+ channels are inactivated during this time, additional depolarizing stimuli do not lead to new action potentials.
