An action potential moves along an axon due to the sequential opening of voltage-gated Na+ channels. The diagram below shows vol

tage-gated Na+ channels separated by a short distance in the plasma membrane of an axon. Initially (left panel), only channel (a) is open. Within a very short time (right panel), channel (b) also opens. A diagram of two panels with an arrow between them showing Na plus ions outside a cell and inside a cell, separated by a plasma membrane with two Na plus channels labeled (a) and (b). In the first panel, the (a) channel is open and ions flow from outside to inside the cell. In the second panel, both channels are open. Which statement correctly describes what causes the second voltage-gated Na+ channel to open?

Answer:

When depolarization occurs Na+ ion  voltage gated Channels opens.And under normal procedures, there is influx of sodium ions into the axonplasm. A brief refractive period must occur so that, there is a short period of tentative rest where the  Gated Sodium channels remains short.

However, if this period is not present as in this scenario,  as Na+  move in and out of  A, continuously, the ionic  distribution in  A, causes changes in  charge distribution in  B, which leads to opening of Na+ channels in B.

Answer:

What causes the second voltage-gated Na+ to open is the charge changes caused by the flow of ions through the first channel.

Explanation:

The second channel is a voltage-gated Na+ channel, we know that voltage-gated channels open their gates when there is a change in the voltage of the cell, by opening the first ion channel, there is a rush of ions to the inside of the cell that modifies the cell's voltage due to the new charges. The second channel is affected by this, and as a consequence, it opens its gates.

1. Analyze the following logical argument. At what step (i through iv) does a logical fallacy occur? i. The weight of an object
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

iv. There is no force of gravity acting upon orbiting astronauts.

2. it measures the mass

Explanation:

A logical fallacy occur in step iv

There is actually force of gravity upon the orbiting astronauts. Gravity exist in space. there is an upward and downward forces that keeps the body stable.

1,ii,iii are correct logical statements

2.What does the scale measure? ___________________ If a scale does not technically measure your weight, then why is it often used to measure your weight?

The scale measures ones mass.

Mass is the quantity of matter in a body. Matter is anything that has weight and occupies space. Assuming we are to measure the weight of ones body we will need to be hanged in the air and take measurement with the aid of a spring balance.

At this instant, the force of gravity will be acting on the body(that is one will experience the earth's gravitational pull to the earth's center)

Force is the pull or push on an object. F=mass * gravity

Force is also that which tends to change a body's state of rest or uniform motion on a straight line.

Newton's second law of motion states that the force applied is directly proportional to the rate of change in linear momentum

What is the difference between a plaintiff and defendant in a civil case? The defendant is the person or organization accusing a
IgorC [24]
The defendant is the person or organization with which an action is being brought against. For example: a man rear-ends a woman in a car accident. The woman can file a lawsuit to recover (get) money from the man for her medical injuries and damage to her car. The woman is the plaintiff suing the man who is the defendant.
