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.

dybincka [34]

Answer:

<u>Liquefaction</u> refers to the tendency of a foundation material (such as soil) that is water-logged to lose its internal cohesion and mechanically fail to provide support during earthquake shaking.

Explanation:

Liquefaction occurs when an unbound material (usually sand), which is saturated in water, loses its resistance to shear due to intense and rapid vibration (earthquake), which breaks its granular structure by reducing its inter-granular pressure and flow like a liquid because of an increase in pressure.

Liquefaction usually manifests itself in loose, saturated and non-cohesive soils, formed by young deposits of sands and sediments of similar particle sizes. If the soil is dense there will be less chances of liquefaction. Older deposits, in general, are more dense and cohesive. At higher density, more interstitial pressure is needed for liquefaction to occur.
