If the potassium leak channels are blocked, what will happen to the membrane potential?
(a) the interior of the cell will become less negative
(b) the interior of the cell becomes less positive
(c) the exterior of the cell becomes less negative
(d) the exterior of the cell becomes less positive

(a) The interior of the cell will become less negative.

Explanation:

The normal resting membrane potential is about -70 mV. This voltage is maintained by the potassium (K+) leak channels which allows leakage of potassium ions to the extracellular. The leakage counteracts the effects of the Na+K+ pump which increases the concentration of these positively charged ions intracellularly. Therefore the blockage of potassium leakage pumps will make the membrane potential less negative.  

1. loamy sand is about 80% sand with 10% clay and defined mostly by sand particles with some clay to provide structure and fertility. the sand particles are easily visible and the soil holds structure but breaks apart easily.

2. scott sand can improve his soil quality by incorporating more silt and organic matter into the soil. peat moss and organic matter can also be incorporated.

i might be wrong but i think its a. let me know if i’m right and have a good rest of your day!
