Na+ leaks through neuron membranes faster than k+ because of the properties of the non-gated leak channels. na+ leaks through neuron membranes faster than k+ because of the properties of the non-gated leak channels. a. true b. false

b. False

K+ ions move faster than the Na+ ions through the neuron membranes.

The concentration of Sodium ions outside the cell is very high. The concentration of Potassium ions inside the cells is very high. Leakage channels thus allow sodium ions to move inside the cells and pumps out the Potassium from the cells.

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
