A client is being treated for the ingestion of a neurotoxin that interferes with the depolarization phase of action potentials.

Biology
1 answer:

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.

Different forms of a given gene are known as
yulyashka [42]

Answer: alleles

Explanation:

Alleles are different forms of a given gene. Alleles are mutated forms of a given gene which controls a particular trait. For instance, the gene that codes for hemoglobin is denoted with the letter A but the gene has another variant denoted by S. In abnormal hemoglobin S (sickle hemoglobin), glutamate is replaced by valine at position 6 in the amino acid sequence of the two beta chains of hemoglobin. This change in the amino acid sequence causes the red blood cells to have a sickle shape resulting in sickle cell disease. Therefore hemoglobin A and S are alleles of a given gene.

svetlana [45]

Answer:

D. There is no enough oxygen in the culture fluid

Explanation:

The cells in the test tube need to carryout one of the important metabolic processes of living organisms - respiration. The process involves the breakdown of glucose to generate energy for other metabolic processes in the cell.

Respiration can be carried out in the presence of oxygen (aerobic) or in the absence of oxygen (anaerobic). Human cells are primarily aerobic but can carryout respiration anaerobically in the presence of inadequate oxygen.

For aerobic respiration, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon-dioxide, water and energy in the form of ATP:

C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_2 --> 6CO_2 + 6H_2O + ATP

<em>In the absence of oxygen, the glucose becomes converted to lactic acid and a smaller amount of ATP is produced as compared to aerobic respiration.</em>

<em>Hence, lactic acid gradually builds up in the absence of oxygen due to anaerobic respiration.</em>

The correct option is D.
