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?
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.
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.
The concept of social structure is one of the main building blocks of the social sciences, but it lacks any precise technical definition within general sociological theory.
If I was to join a community baseball league, my goal would be physical. This is a sport so it can be understood that the goal would be physical. On the other hand, it can also fall in the social category since the level is still community. But the answer is still A. physical
