Is the flow of electrons in a wire faster than the movement of ions in a membrane?

Yes. A nerve impulse travels at approximately 100 mph while electricity in a wire travel roughly 3.00 x 108 m/s

What is the ability of a material to oppose the movement of electrons through it?
A material that has a high resistance to the flow of electrons is an insulator.
What would describe a situation in which thylakoid is used in the production of atp?
ATP produced by noncyclic flow electrons in thylakoid membrane.
Electron current flow theory considers electricity to be the flow of charge carries which are what in polarity?
When we consider electron flow, we think of moving electrons. The electron has a negative charge. This model of current flow, the electron current flow model, follows the movement of those negative charges.As a contrast, we might consider what is called conventional current flow. And that the model of current involves the movement of charges with a positive polarity.
Why is an electric circuit important for the transmission or movement of electricity?
If there is no closed circuit, electrons will stop flowing quickly, since a charge will build up and repel additional electrons that would otherwise flow.
What transport mechanisms involves the movement of water in a cell?
The membrane of a cell is semipermeable. Water and small molecules flow freely into and out of the cell. There is no transport mechanism. The fluidity of the membrane designated by the fluid mosaic model, allows for water to flow freely into and out of the cell.
Is current a flow of electrons?
In general, yes, we normally think of the movement of electrons (electron flow) as electric current.
How does electrcity flow?
By movement of free electrons in conductors
Why the temperature increases as current increases?
The current is the flow of electrons. Temperature is the movement of atoms. As the current increases there is more collisions between the atoms and the electrons. Some of the energy from the electrons is transferred to the atoms, thus they move faster and so the temperature increases.
What is produced whenever there is a flow of electrons in a wire?
Electric current is the movement of electrons through a conductor.
Current and voltage?
The current is the flow of electrons The voltage is the push the power source gives to the electrons to make the current faster. The flow of electrons is electricity HI!! By the way I am amazing! Trust me.
How does exercise effects Movement of blood?
The blood starts to flow faster.
The movement of electrons through a conductor is called?
The motion of electrons is called elecricity. Electricity is used to represent the liberated out put by the movement of electrons.
What is electiricity?
the electirizer is an item to evolve a electabuzz to a electivire
How are electrons involved in conducting heat or electricity?
I dont think anybody knows 2nd Answer: The movement of free electrons is the definition of electricity. Molecules (including atoms) that move about is the definition of heat. The faster they move about (Brownian Motion) the more heat can be measured. Electrons are not "conductors" of heat.
Howdoes Electricity flow through a wire?
Electricity flow through a wire as a result of the movement of electrons and hols.
Does resistance flow through a circuit?
No. Resistance does not flow. Resistance is the characteristic of a material that resists the movement of electrons and thus the flow of electrical current.
What happen to the movement of electrons if you ground a possitively charged object?
Electrons would flow from the ground, into the positively charged object.
