Answer:
They can generate potentials spontaneously because they have Unstable Membrane Potentials.
Explanation:
Autorythmic cells or Pacemaker cells are cells that provide Action potentials (electrical impulses) that starts off the cardiac cycle.
N:B This action potential is created spontaneously.
To explain further, the heart originate in specialized cardiac muscle cells, called autorhythmic cells, that can excite themselves and therefore are able to generate an action potential without external stimulation by nerve cells. And this sets the cardiac cycle i
(Pumping of the heart) into motion. (The pace maker potential)
The Autorhythmic cells create an action potential spontaneously
And this is possible because they have an UNSTABLE RESTING POTENTIAL that is continuously depolarizing, while it drifts slowly toward threshold. As Na+ ions enter the cell, the inner surface of the plasma membrane becomes less negative gradually, thus generating the pacemaker potential.
A
Cl is the chemical symbol for chlorine numbers after it are isotopes
Answer:
D. 2.5 Hz
Explanation:
Frequency = speed of wave / wavelength
= 335 /140 ( from graph)
= 2.4
Answer:
33.6 Ns backward.
Explanation:
Impulse: This can be defined as the product of force and time. The S.I unit of impulse is Ns.
From Newton's second law of motion,
Impulse = change in momentum
I = mΔv................................. Equation 1
Where I = impulse, m = mass of the skater, Δv = change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity.
Given: m = 28 kg, t = 0.8 s, Δv = -1.2-0 = -1.2 m/s (Note: the initial velocity of the skater = 0 m/s)
Substituting into equation 1
I = 28(-1.2)
I = -33.6 Ns
Thus the impulse = 33.6 Ns backward.
