The net charge difference across the membrane, just like the charge difference across the plates of a capacitor, is what leads to the voltage across the membrane. How much excess charge (in picocoulombs, where 1 pc = 1x10-12 C) must lie on either side of the membrane of an axon of length 2 cm to provide this potential difference (0.07 V) across the membrane? You may consider that a net positive charge with this value lies just outside the axon cell wall, and a negative charge with this value lies just inside cell wall, like the equal and opposite charges on capacitor plates. Previous Info:An average cylindrical axon has a cell wall that is d = 5 × 10 − 9 m thick and has a radius r = 5 × 10 − 6 m. The dielectric constant of the lipid bilayer Îș = 7. Find the capacitance then of the axon cell wall membrane for an axon of length 4 cm. You may consider the cell membrane as having the geometry of a parallel plate capacitor by unrolling the cylinder, which yields parallel capacitor plates with an area A = 2 π r l where l = 1.0 cm is the length of the axon. Give your answer to the nearest nanofarad where 1 nanofarad = 1x10-9 F.

Astudent is performing an experiment comparing sound and light waves. the student gathers the following data. what conclusion does the student most likely make based on this data? light waves always travel the same speed; however, the speed of sound is determined by the medium that it travels through. all sound waves always have the same energy, so the temperature of the medium does not affect wave speed. light needs to vibrate particles, so it travels fastest in tightly packed solids, while sound does not need a medium, so it travels fastest in a gas. tightly packed particles in solids slow down the light waves; however, sound waves make particles bounce into each other, so they travel faster in solids.
