An action potential involves the transfer of _____ and _____ ions across an axon's membrane.
amm1812
An action potential involves the transfer SODIUM and POTASSIUM ions across an axon's membrane.
During depolarization, when the ion channels open, they allow the influx of sodium ions into the cell, thus changing the electro-chemical gradient of the cell, in order to counter balance this, potassium ions will be allowed to flow out of the cell.<span />

This has to do with blind spots: What parts of the eye are involved with this inability to see? How do these eye parts function?
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

  • Blindspot
  • It has a vital role. It is the only way out of the optic nerve. By this hole optic nerve exits from the eye and goes towards the brain.
  • It can be proved by a simple experiment. A paper sheet is taken. Then a cross and a circle are drawn side by side on that paper. Then we will focus on the cross. Then by closing one eye and by bringing the paper slowly towards our face, the circle will be disappeared at a certain point.        

Explanation:  

The blind spot is a region on the retina where ganglion cells connect with the optic nerve, and the optic nerve and blood vessels leave the eyeball. There are no receptors in this area so nothing can be translated into vision. That's why the blind spot is unable to see things.

Complete the sentences to describe natural selection
Vikentia [17]
  1. The environment needs to change in order to natural selection to occur.

Reason:

Because, Natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype. It is a key mechanism of evolution, the change in the heritable traits characteristic of a population over generations.

2. Population has some genetic variations.

Reason:

Genetic variation is essential for natural selection because natural selection can only increase or decrease frequency of alleles that already exist in the population. Genetic variation is caused by:

mutation and random mating between organisms

3. Nature select organism with specific traits to survive and reproduce.

Reason:

According to Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, organisms that possess heritable traits that enable them to better adapt to their environment compared with other members of their species will be more likely to survive, reproduce, and pass more of their genes on to the next generation.
