    (a) Define the term equilibrium potential and use the Nernst equation (see Appendix) to show how the equilibrium potentials for both sodium and potassium are calculated. Equilibrium potential is the potential of the membrane when there is no net flow of ions from one gradient to the other gradient. The ions are equal and are opposite of each other but not moving from one side to the other. Sodium: Ena=2.303((8.31 J m-1 K-1)(310K))/((1(= 9.65 x 104 c m-1))(log(150/15))= 61.54 mV Ek=2.303((8

    Energy is needed by the body to stay alive‚ grow‚ keep warm and move around. Energy is provided by food and drink. It comes from the fat‚ carbohydrate‚ protein and alcohol the diet contains. Energy requirements vary from one individual to the next‚ depending on factors such as age‚ sex‚ body composition and physical activity level. Energy expenditure is the sum of the basal metabolic rate (the amount of energy expended while at complete rest)‚ the thermic effect of food (TEF‚ the energy required

    Conservation of matter and energy Introduction to conservation of matter and energy The conservation of matter and energy means that the total amount of energy and the total amount of matter is always constant in a given closed‚ isolated system. In other words‚ neither energy nor mass can be created or destroyed in any physical or chemical process. Formation of the law of conservation of matter and energy Until the discovery of mass - energy equivalence by Albert Einstein in 1905‚ conservation

    The Energy of the Future The United States of America is in desperate need of an alternate energy source. One such alternate source is nuclear power. Nuclear power is a form of energy produced by an atomic reaction‚ which is capable of producing an alternative source of electrical power‚ replacing the energy currently supplied by coal‚ gas‚ or oil. This will help the United States move away from burning fossil fuels and potentially reduce overall pollution. Nuclear power has the potential to be
