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.

sodium (NA) and water (H2O undergo a chemical reaction that produces sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). Which equati
natita [175]

Answer:

There are no options in this question, however, the equation can be provided. The answer is:

2Na + 2H2O --> 2NaOH + H2

Explanation:

This question is deacribing the equation between sodium (Na) and water (H2O) to produce sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). The equation originally is as follows:

Na + H2O --> NaOH + H2

From the above equation, one would notice that it is not balanced because the number of atoms of each element is not the same on both sides of the equation. Hence, to balance the equation, a coefficient is used to make sure the same number of atoms of each element are on both sides.

We have;

2Na + 2H2O --> 2NaOH + H2

Which statement describes what occurs in both animal and plant cells?
pshichka [43]
The correct answer for the question is B; Oxygen is used for respiration and carbon dioxide is a waste product.

Explanation;
Plants and animals use the process of respiration to produce energy which is used to fuel normal activities such as growth and movement. The process uses oxygen to break down nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats and proteins, and release energy needed by the plants and animals; but, also creates water and carbon dioxide as byproducts. 
Carbon dioxide is a by product of the process of respiration, a chemical reaction that plants and animals use to produce energy they need to carry out day to day activities.

Characteristics between invertebrates and vertebrates in a tabular form.​
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Invertebrates: Do not possess a backbone and doesn't have an internal skeleton. Has an exoskeleton. Are generally smaller than vertebrates.  Possess an open circulatory system. The majority have compound eyes. Includes radial or bilateral body symmetry. Presence of a simple and unorganized nervous system. Mode of nutrition includes Autotrophic, Parasitic, and Heterotrophic. 95% of animal species are invertebrates. Flatworms, arthropods, sponges, insects are few examples of Invertebrates.

Vertebrates: Possess a backbone and has an internal skeleton. Does not have an endoskeleton. Larger than invertebrates. Possess a closed circulatory system. Do not have compound eyes. Has bilateral body symmetry. Presence of complex and highly specialized organ systems with specific functions. The mode of nutrition is usually heterotrophic. 5% of animal species are vertebrates. Mammals, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and birds are examples of Vertebrates.

Now that you have identified the components of DNA, can you describe how these components bind together to form a DNA molecule
madam [21]

Answer: DNA has three components a phosphate group, a sugar deoxyribose and 4 nitogenous bases.

DNA has two important bonds that make up the DNA which are phosphodiester bond and hydrogen bonds.

Explanation:

The phosphate of the one nucleotide in DNA bonds with the 5 sugar (5' carbon) of the next nucleotide forming the PHOSPHODIESTER BOND which is a strong covalent bond.

The other bond in DNA is the hydrogen bonds which are among the nitrogenous bases.

There are four bases adenine,guanine,cytosine,thyamine

These bases are held together by strong hydrogen bonds.

Adenine and thyamine have two hydrogen bonds between them and cytosine and guanine have three hydrogen bonds between them.

These hydrogen bonds keeps the DNA helix in place.
