What processes maintain a steady state “resting” membrane potential

Sodium-Potassium pumps (NaK Pumps)

Explanation:

So you only need to consider two things:

Are these ions mainly found on the inside or outside of the cell?

What are the ions' charges?

The location of the ions: Sodium is mostly found outside of the cell.

Potassium is mostly found inside of cells.

Sodium and potassium both have a positive charge.

So, consider this: what does sodium want to do? It wants to RUSH INTO the cell for two reasons: there is more on the outside, and the inside of the cell is negatively charged, which attracts it.

Potassium wishes to do the direct opposite. It is mostly inside the cell and wants to get out. Also, because opposite charges repel each other, potassium wishes to leave the cell.

Okay, so sodium enters the cell and potassium exits. What is it that keeps them where they are?

The sodium-potassium pumps. They take out sodium to keep it outside the cell and bring potassium back in. This is what it means to "maintain a steady state resting membrane potential."

It's three sodium ions leaving and two potassium ions entering per "pump."

clumped distribution, because you'de have all of the population gathered in a relatively small are.

it's the most common because it provides protection and a mate for reproduction

example: humans, seeweed, cattles, etc.

answer: decrease

a limiting factor is the one which decrease the abundance, distribution and causes extinction of the population of species in a ecosystem. here, predators including hawks, owls and snakes are the limiting factor for the population of mexican free tailed bat.   although bats are nocturnal animals as they forge for food at night these predators also may remain active during night which can decrease the population of the mexican free-tailed bats. also, these bats eat only one type of insects that are moths. the food can also be a limiting factor as all 400 members are dependent upon same type of food needs that are moths. the decrease in the moth population can cause decrease in population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.

therefore, the scenarios will most likely to decrease the population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.
