The action potential spreads through an axon by depolarizing adjacent membrane to threshold.

  • K+ departs the cell after Na+, which enters the cell first. Ions can move freely across the axon membrane because of the difference during the action potential.
  • Because sodium contains a positive charge, the neuron becomes more positive and depolarized. Potassium channels take longer to open. As soon as the cell does open, K+ rushes out, reversing the depolarization known as repolarization.
  • Sodium channels close during the peak of the action potential when potassium leaves the cell. When potassium ions are effluxed, the membrane potential is lowered or the cell becomes hyperpolarized.
  • Outside of the cell, the concentration of Na+ is greater than inside the cell. while the concentration of K+ is  is greater inside the cell than outside.

Where is ciliated epithelium found and what role does it play?
Andru [333]

Answer:

Explanation:

Firstly, let us break down the components:

A cilia is a hair-like structure positioned on a tissue for locomotive purposes

Epithelium is a type of tissue

Therefore, a ciliated epithelium is a kind of tissue that contains hair-like structures called cilia for locomotion. They can be found in our respiratory tracts lining, the fallopian tube of human females, brain etc. where they mainly perform the function of moving particles.

They help move foreign particles like dust from our respiratory tracts, they help move the egg from the ovary to the uterus of women, they also move cerebral spinal fluid in the brain.

Ciliated epithelium contains goblet cells, that secretes mucous to provide the moist medium for locomotion

It is possible for two parents each with brown eyes to produce a blue-eyed child.
elena55 [62]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The color of the baby's eyes is influenced by the genetic inheritance (of the genes transmitted by the mother and father) and the amount of melanin (brown or black pigment whose type and amount is encoded in the genes) found in the iris.

Eye color is controlled by at least three genes, although researchers still only understand the role of two of them. Determining eye color is an extremely complex process and there are several conditioning factors and genetic combinations that can influence the final color.

The more melanin, the darker the color of eyes, skin and hair. If parents have both brown eyes, it is natural for their children to have the same color. However, there may be a genetic influence from an ancestor and the child expressing a different color.

If the presence of melanin in the iris is reduced, the baby will have blue eyes, even if father and mother have brown eyes. If the presence of melanin is higher, the eye color will be green or hazel. When there is a large production of melanin, the eyes are brown, predominant color over green or blue and therefore more common. The least common color is green.

Compare and contrast the traits of viruses and bacteria. Is a virus considered a living thing? Explain your answer in 3–5 senten
kkurt [141]

Answer:

Bacteria are single-celled organisms that live in different environments, including cold and hot, and they can also live on or inside the human body.

Most types of bacteria are harmless, on the contrary, they help in the process of digesting food, attacking other microbes and fighting cancer cells, and less than 1% of bacteria are bacteria that cause diseases.

As for viruses, they are very small organisms, smaller than bacteria, consisting of DNA and a protein that coat them, and unlike bacteria, a virus does not reproduce without its presence in the cells of living organisms.
