How does an atom become a positive ion?

Biology
2 answers:
solong [7]3 years ago

An atom that gains a negative electron, it becomes a negative ion. If it loses an electron it becomes a positive ion. Some atoms lose electrons and become positive ions. Others gain electrons and become negative ions.

<h2>Answer: </h2>

An atom becomes a positive ion by losing one or more of its electrons. Positively charged ions are called cations.

Positively charged ions are called cations. Generally, metallic elements turn into positive ions due to the quantity of valence electrons they contain. Metallic ions can achieve a full valence shell if they lose their outer electron(s). When they lose these electrons, the inner shell is now their valence shell, and it's complete. When this happens, they will have more protons than electrons, giving the atom a positive charge.

When a neuron responds to a particular neurotransmitter by opening gated ion channels
Volgvan

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:

Question:  When a neuron responds to a particular neurotransmitter by opening gated ion channels, the neurotransmitter is serving as which part of the signal pathway?

A) relay molecule

B) transducer

C) signal molecule

D) response molecule

Answer:

C) signal molecule

Explanation:

Signaling cells produce specific chemicals or compounds called signaling molecules. These signaling molecules arrive at their target cells and bind to the cell surface or intracellular receptors. Binding of the signaling molecules to their receptors present on the target cells is followed by signal transduction and production of desired response by the target cells.  

Neurotransmitters serve as signal molecules that bind to the receptors present on the membranes of the postsynaptic neurons to bring about changes in the membrane potential. Their binding may trigger the opening of the gated ion channels resulting in a change in the membrane potential followed by generation of inhibitory or excitatory responses.

Question 3 of 10
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

D. 300 m²

Explanation:

A sphere is a three dimensional object with a surface which as like that of a ball. A sphere is a set of points that are all at the same distance r from a given point in a three-dimensional space.

The surface area of a sphere is:

Surface area = 4πr²

where r is the radius of the sphere, π is a constant = 3

Given that r = 5 meters, hence substituting into the area equation:

Surface area = 4π(5)² = 4(3)(5)² = 300 m²
