When neurons are not producing electrical signals

Biology
1 answer:
balu736 [363]4 years ago
8 0

When neurons are not producing electrical signals we say that they are at resting phase: voltage across their membrane is called the resting membrane potential, or the resting potential.

This potential is determined by the concentration of ions (Na, K) across the membrane and by membrane permeability to each type of ion. While the ions move through channels down their gradients they lead to a separation of charge and that is what creates the resting potential.

The membrane of the neuron is much more permeable for K ions so the resting potential is close to the equilibrium potential of K+.

____transport doesn't need an input of energy of the cell. (fill in the blank)
inn [45]

Answer:

<u>Passive</u> transport

Explanation:

There are two ways molecules can get in and out of the cell. These processes are called Passive and Active transport.

Passive transport is the movement of molecules and materials from high to low concentration. No energy is needed for this process because it happens naturally.

This is in contrast to what Active transport is, where energy is needed because it moves the molecules or materials against the concentration gradient where they move from lower to higher concentration.
