Answer:

The inflow of sodium ions.

Explanation:

The generation of the action potential requires the change in the membrane potential of the cell. This membrane potential is maintained due to the unequal distribution of the ions.

The cell potential of the cell is -70mV and maintained due to the presence of potassium ions. The depolarization occurs due to the influx of the sodium ions and results in the change in the membrane potential upto +30mV. The neurotoxin that interferes with depolarization process might affect the sodium ions uptake.

Thus, the answer is inflow of sodium ions.

jonny [76]
It’s because unlike twins the regular siblings aren’t born on the same date or a couple minutes apart, but rather a couple years old or younger.

Answer:

1. Earth's ozone layer is responsible for absorbing infrared and ultraviolet rays from the sun.

2. Changes in the composition of the atmosphere have caused gradual changes in earth's climate, causing changes in plant and animal life that contributed to mass extinctions.

3. Chemical chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) have been banned and replaced with hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs).

4. Naturally occurring volcanic eruptions can produce large amounts of gases which contain sulfur. These gases accumulate in the atmosphere in the same way as man-made sulphuroxides.

Sorry, but after that I don't know.
