What is the first step in triggering a change in membrane potential?

Biology
1 answer:
Sophie [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The membrane potential is maintained in the cell due to the unequal distribution of the ions inside and outside of the cell. This membrane potential is important for the conduction of the nerve impulse.

The arrival of the stimulus triggers the action potential. The resting membrane potential is -70mV. This is maintained by the presence of potassium ions. The influx of the sodium ions result in the change in the membrane potential from -70mV to +30mV.

three students measured the height of a lab table each using a different meter stick. One student reported a height of 98cm, ano
elena55 [62]
The difference between the two students that we know of is that they used a different meter stick. So the difference would be best attributed to  the different tools they used.

Note, this is quite a huge difference. It's likely that one of the sticks, or both, are quite defect.
