Due to influx of potassium ions, electricity is generated in axon of a neuron.  

<u>Explanation:</u>

Axon membrane is the semi permeable membrane that is full of potassium and sodium channels. There’s also Sodium Potassium ATPase pumps. When there’s an impulse coming through the synapse, the potassium channels open. This leads to influx of sodium from outside the membrane to inside it. Then the membrane becomes positive.

Then the electricity is generated and its conducted from one part to another. After the impulse is conducted, the sodium potassium pumps come in action which transports 3 sodium inside and 2 potassium outside in consumption to an ATP.

In a redox reaction the substance that accepts electrons is said to be
netineya [11]
The question "<span>In a redox reaction the substance that accepts electrons is said to be?" is a bit vague. By definition, a "redox" or "reduction" reaction is one where classified by a gain of electrons. On the other hand, if it is a loss of electrons, then it is an oxidation reaction.</span>

What characteristics do atoms of carbon-12, carbon-13, and carbon-14 have in common? 1. same number of electrons 2. same number
Rasek [7]

Answer:

The most common of these is carbon 12, 13, 14. All of these isotopes have the same atomic number but different mass numbers. Carbon has the atomic number of 6 which means that all isotopes have the same proton number. However, the number of neutrons is different, thus giving different mass numbers.

This is a question on my physics test :)
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

119.6 J/Kg°C

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Mass of substance (ms) = 170 g

Initial temperature of substance (Ts) = 120 °C

Volume of water = 200 mL

Initial temperature of water (Ts) = 10 °C

Temperature of the mixture (T2) = 12.6 °C

Density of water = 1 g/mL

Specific heat capacity of water (Cw) = 4200J/Kg°C

Specific heat capacity of substance (Cs) =..?

Next, we shall determine the mass of water. This can be obtained as follow:

Volume of water = 200 mL

Density of water = 1 g/mL

Mass of water =..?

Density = mass /volume

1 = mass /200

Cross multiply

Mass of water = 1 x 200

Mass of water = 200 g

Convert 200 g of water to Kg

Mass of water = 200/1000 0.2 Kg

Mass of water = 0.2 Kg

Now, we obtained the specific heat capacity of the substance using the following formula:

MwCw(T2 – Tw) + MsCs(T2 – Ts) = 0

Mass of water = 0.2 Kg

Initial temperature of water (Ts) = 10 °C

Specific heat capacity of water (Cw) = 4200J/Kg°C

Temperature of the mixture (T2) = 12.6 °C

Mass of substance (ms) = 170 g = 170/1000 = 0.17 Kg

Initial temperature of substance (Ts) = 120 °C

Specific heat capacity of substance (Cs) =..?

MwCw(T2 – Tw) + MsCs(T2 – Ts) = 0

0.2× 4200(12.6 – 10) + 0.17×Cs×(12.6 – 120) = 0

840(2.6) + 0.17Cs(– 107.4) = 0

2184 – 18.258Cs = 0

Rearrange

2184 = 18.258Cs

Divide both side by the coefficient of Cs i.e 18258

Cs = 2184/18.258

Cs = 119.6 J/Kg°C

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of the substance is 119.6 J/Kg°C
