7 0

Answer:

Potassium ions

Explanation:

Neurons are the cells which are involved in the transmission of the electrical impulse in the organism. The electrical impulse is generated as a result of the movement of ions across the neuron.

The neurons when are at rest still maintains the electric potential at -70 mv. This potential is due to the difference in the ions inside and outside of the neuron. The neurons contain a very high amount of potassium ions inside whereas the sodium outside.

But the potassium ions present inside the neuron continuously leaks from inside through the leak channels (high number compared to sodium channels) causing a slight electronegative charge in the neuron.  Thus, Potassium ions are correct.

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Igneous rocks form when magma (molten rock) cools and crystallizes, either at volcanoes on the surface of the Earth or while the melted rock is still inside the crust.

Sedimentary rocks are erosion, weathering, dissolution, precipitation, and lithification. Erosion and weathering include the effects of wind and rain, which slowly break down large rocks into smaller ones.

Metamorphic rocks form when rocks are subjected to high heat, high pressure, hot mineral-rich fluids or, more commonly, some combination of these factors.

Which kingdom contains heterotrophs with cell walls of chitin?
kirza4 [7]

It would not be plants, even though it has cell walls. They are not made of chitin. Plants are also not heterotrophic.

Fungi, however, decompose other matter, and have cell walls made of chitin. This would fit the description.
