If a positively charged ion is more concentrated outside the cell, the forces required to balance the chemical gradient would be directed . Thus, the equilibrium potential for this ion would be charged. If a positively charged ion is more concentrated outside the cell, the forces required to balance the chemical gradient would be directed . Thus, the equilibrium potential for this ion would be charged. inward : negatively outward : positively outward : neutrally inward : positively outward : negatively

If a positively charged ion is more concentrated outside the cell, the forces required to balance the chemical gradient would be directed OUTWARD. Thus, the equilibrium potential for this ion would be POSITIVELY charged. The correct answer is OUTWARD: POSITIVELY.

Explanation: Usually across a cell membrane there is a force that acts on it which is as a result of unequal distribution of charges. This force is known as electrochemical driving force. It is determined by the difference between the membrane potential ( that is, the electrical potential difference across the cell membrane) and the ion equilibrium potential. The membrane potential of a cell helps in signal transmission between different parts of the cell and results when there is unequal distribution across the cell.

Therefore If a positively charged ion is more concentrated outside the cell, the forces required to balance the chemical gradient would be directed outward.Thus, the equilibrium potential for this ion would be positively charged.

freezing

deposition

condensation

explanation;

melting also called fusion is the process where solid becomes liquid, sublimation is the process where solid becomes gaseous without first changing to liquid, deposition involves change from gaseous to solid state, freezing involves change from liquid to solid, boiling or evaporation involves change of liquid to gaseous state, while condensation is the change from gaseous state to liquid state.

endothermic reactions involves absorption of heat from the surroundings or the environment while exothermic reactions involves loss of heat energy to the surroundings.

in this case, sublimation, evaporation and melting are endothermic reactions (gain energy from the environment) while, freezing, deposition and condensation are exothermic (loss of energy to the surroundings) reactions.
