At a neuron's resting potential, the inside of the axon lies about 0.07 V below the outside of the axon. Using the formula for the capacitance you found in the previous problem, how much electric energy to the nearest picojoule (1 pJ = 1x10-12 J) is stored a 8-cm-long axon at this resting potential? Make sure to include LaTeX: \kappa=7κ = 7 for the lipid bilayer. Note the capacitance may differ for different axon lengths. This electrical energy stored in the membrane due to the potential difference across the membrane is used for fast, passive transport of ions during a nerve pulse. The nerve pulse, as you'll discuss in later labs, is caused by ions rushing across the membrane, driven by this potential difference (or, equivalently, driven by the energy stored in the capacitor, just like the charge being driven through the light bulb by the capacitor in the lab).

In the nineteenth century, gregor mendel first determined some basic rules of genetics that have been observed throughout all types of life. no observations have disproved these basic rules of genetics. charles darwin developed the idea of biological evolution around the same time, but he was unaware of mendel’s discoveries in genetics. over a century later, darwin’s idea of evolution was modified in order to incorporate mendel’s rules of genetics along with the other evidence that darwin had used. what is most likely the relationship between mendel’s rules of genetics and darwin’s idea of biological evolution? a.)mendel’s genetics states laws that are now part of the theory of biological evolution.b.)biological evolution states laws that are part of mendel’s theory of genetics.c.)mendel’s genetics replaced darwin’s entire concept of biological evolution.d.)biological evolution is a law that explains why all genetics exist.
