Answer:
-Reversal of the resting potential due to influx of sodium ions
-Mechanism that restores the resting membrane voltage and intracellular ionic concentrations
-Period during which potassium ions are diffusing out of the neuron because of a change in membrane permeability
-A brief reversal of membrane potential that travels along the axon
Explanation:
An action potential is a situation where the membrane potential is briefly reversed from -70mV to +30 mV
There are three steps of the moving action potential, including;
1) The depolarization step, where the membrane resting potential is reversed by the rush of sodium ions into a neuron
2) The repolarization, due to the closing of the voltage-gated sodium channels and the opening of the potassium channels, which is a mechanism that restores the membrane's resting voltage and the ionic concentration in the cell
3) Hyperpolarization, where due to some open potassium channels, there is an increased potassium permeability, and excessive efflux of potassium ions take place, which results in a dip in the membrane potential
4) The above three phases describe the phase of the action potential which is the brief reversal of membrane potential that travels along the axon
- Glucose = C₆H₁₂O₆.
- Atomic mass of C = 12 u
- Atomic mass of H = 1 u
- Atomic mass of O = 16 u
- Therefore, the molecular mass of glucose
- = (6 × Atomic mass of C) + (12 × Atomic mass of H) + (6 × Atomic mass of O)
- = (6 × 12) + (12 × 1) + (6 × 16) u
- = 72 + 12 + 96 u
- = 180 u
