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

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.

The characteristics of the active site microenvironment of an enzyme can be largely independent of individual catalytic mechanis
Valentin [98]

Answer: (1) Providing an optimized orientation of the substrate.

(2) Decreasing the ∆G in reaction.

(3) Excluding excess water.

Explanation: The active sites of enzymes increase the rate of reaction because they decrease the activation energy of the reaction,and the physical microenvironment provides an optimal orientation of the substrate relative to reactive functional groups while excluding excess solvent,such as water.

Although some active sites may have amino acids that form salt bridges with the amino acids from a substrate,not all do, so this is not a generic strategy of active site microenvironments
