A nerve cell when at rest is negatively charged, this means that on the inside it is more negative than on the outside. The potential difference is around -70mV. The mechanism that helps to achieve that p...

An increase in temperature increases kinetic energy of particles, so collision frequency increases and more enzyme-substrate complexes are formed, therefore rate of reaction increases. The rate of reactio...
