Following repolarization, the neuron may become slightly hyperpolarized before it re-establishes its resting membrane potential.

Hyperpolarization is due to a difference between how the voltage-gated Na+ and K+ channels work. What is this difference?

<h2>Membrane potential </h2>

Explanation:

  • Membrane potential represents charge difference across the membrane, all biological cells are negative inside (cytoplasm) and positive outside (due to difference in ionic distribution)  
  • In a typical neuron cell membrane potential of cytoplasm is negative at rest (when no stimulus is applied) hence called resting membrane potential
  • Resting membrane potential of excitable cells is established by Na+ and K+pump
  • Repolarization starts with the efflux of K+ by the opening of voltage gated K+ channels
  • Voltage gated K+ channels starts to open when voltage gated Na+ channels becomes inactive
  • Hyperpolarization occurs due to excessive efflux of K+ by voltage gated K+ channels
  • Additional efflux of K+ occurs due to slow inactivation of voltage gated K+ channels

Describe how greenhouse gases contribute to climate change
vladimir1956 [14]
Greenhouse gases arise naturally, and are part of the make-up of our atmosphere. Earths conditions are just right to allow life, including us, to flourish. Part of what makes Earth so amenable is the naturally-arising greenhouse effect, which keeps the planet at a friendly 15 °C (59 °F) on average. But in the last century or so, humans have been interfering with the energy balance of the planet, mainly through the burning of fossil fuels that give off additional carbon dioxide into the air. The level of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere has been rising consistently for decades and traps extra heat near the surface of the Earth, causing temperatures to rise.

The image below represents which factor that can lead to evolution at the population level?
Radda [10]
I'm assuming this is the same image that was posted before, therefore the answer is "gene flow" which occurs through population groups by natural selection and other factors.
