The reduced potential causes hundreds of <u>voltage-gated sodium</u> channels to open on that part of the cell membrane. The depolarization of the cell causes more of <u>voltage-gated sodium </u>channels to open in adjacent parts of the cell membrane. This begins the wave of of <u>depolarization</u> moving down the axon. Depolarization begins at the <u>axon hillock.</u>
Explanation:
When there is no neuron signaling it becomes polarized, termed as resting membrane potential (RMP) at a threshold voltage (around -55 mV), due to the action of the sodium-potassium pump and the potassium leak channels.
When a change in the RMP occurs, depolarization takes place which causes the voltage-gated sodium channels to open and sodium ions rush into the nerve cell which in turn will increase the voltage threshold to nearly around +40 mV and also charges the neuron positive. This depolarization moves down the axon. This increase in threshold stops the sodium influx and opens the potassium channels to rush the potassium out of the cell.
All these actions decrease the membrane potential leading to a wave of depolarization and going back to resting state. Depolarization begins depending upon the potential gradient at the axon hillock.
The answer is B. It is the only one where each element has the same number of molecules on each side.
Answer:
a method of classification of animals and plants according to the proportion of measurable characteristics that they have in common. It is assumed that the higher the proportion of characteristics that two organisms share, the more recently they diverged from a common ancestor.
Explanation:
Answer:
Glycolysis.
Explanation:
Glycolysis is a universal process that provides energy in the form of ATP molecules. It requires two molecules of NAD+, which are reduced to NADH during glycolysis. Thus, regeneration of NAD+ is necessary as if NAD+ is absent, glycolysis cannot be able to continue.
During anaerobic respiration (respiration in the absence of oxygen), fermentation takes place to regenerate NAD+ used in the process of glycolysis.
