Biology

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.

A paragraph on the 3 forms of energy involved in a muscle contraction
irga5000 [103]
There are three types of energy involved in a muscle's contraction. There is metabolism, catabolism, and anabolism. Metabolism is the events that are carried out in the human body to create energy and other things needed for activity. Catabolism is the process during the organic matter is broken down and the energy is released, it takes place during increased movement. Anabolism is the energy-consuming process that substances are created, it takes place when there is little movement. All three of these work to gather in muscle contraction.

In which group is parthenogenesis a normal event?
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Bees

Explanation:

Parthenogenesis is a method of asexual reproduction in which an egg cell develops into a new individual without fertilization. Parthenogenesis occurs in insects, amphibians, reptiles, fish, and in some plants. Most of the organisms which reproduces through parthenogenesis, they also reproduce sexually. Parthenogenesis may be occurs by apomixis and by automixis. In apomixis, egg is produced by mitosis and results into diploid clones. In automixis egg is produced by meiosis and the haploid egg develops into diploid new individual by the duplication of chromosomes. Parthenogenesis is an adaptation which allows to reproduce in adverse environmental conditions when sexual reproduction is not possible.
