A base generally releases a hydroxide ion (OH-) when dissolved in water.
There are exceptions, such as ammonia NH3, which acts as a base but does not produce OH- ions. There are three definitions of acids and bases (Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, and Lewis) and each one looks at acid/base characteristics differently. OH- donation is the Arrhenius definition.
The penguin has a sleek body that helps it to move quickly in water.
Answer:
Calcium ions.
Explanation:
The generation of the action potential helps in the transfer of information to the different body parts. This potential occurs to the difference in membrane potential inside and outside of the cell.
The sarcoplasmic reticulum is the homologous to the endoplasmic reticulum of the cells. The sarcoplasmic reticulum contains calcium ions in it and releases the stored calcium ions on the generation of the action potential. This calcium ion is important for the action of the actin and myosin.
Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
