Cocaine selectively blocks sodium channels which is the mechanism that leads to local anesthetic effects. 
Voltage gated sodium channels play very important roles in the body as they are responsible for action initiation and propagation in excitable cells, such as nerves, muscles and neuroendocrine cells. Like other sodium ion channels blockers such as lidocaine, Cocaine selectively blocks sodium ion channels which denies entry of sodium ions in the cell, thus leading to local anesthetic effects.

Why is the atmospheric pressure lower on a high mountain peak than at sea level
Elenna [48]
The earths gravity attracts the molecules and collects the most near the surface. They all have weight and therefore have more pressure at the surface, as well. As you go higher, the attraction becomes less and these molecules some times fly off into space. This layer of equilibrium has the least of weight or pressure. 

The various pressures are measured by precision instruments called barometers or pressure sensors and expressed in inches of mercury or millibars. <span>Air has a weight too, although not very much, If you "pile" the air mile high, the bottom pressure is heavier because of all the air sitting on top of it, therefore the pressure decreases with altitude, because there is less air "piled up" </span>
<span>An analogy would be the same with water.</span>

Planes have these instruments that tells the crew the altitude above sea level they are at when flying.

Metric conversions.<br> Please help ASAP.
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

14. 13.2cg = 1.32dg

15. 3.8m = 0.0038km

16. 24.8L = 24800mL

17. 0.87kL = 870L

18. 26.01cm = 0.0002601km

19. 0.001hm = 10cm

Explanation:

14. 13.2/10 = 1.32

15. 38/1000 = 0.0038

16. 24.8(1000) = 24,800

17. 0.87(1000) = 870

18. 26.01/100000 = 0.0002601

19. 0.001hm(10000) = 10

An easy way to do these by yourself is to familiarize yourself with what each prefix means. Once you do this, you can multiply the value of the prefix when converting from a smaller unit of measurement to a larger one and divide the value of the prefix when converting from a large unit of measurement to a smaller one.

Explain, in terms of element classification, why KBr is an ionic compound
enot [183]
LBr is ionic compound because k for potassium is metal which means it’s on the left side of the periodic table and Br which is bromine is a non metal which means is on the right side of the periodic table.

In Conclusion when a non metal and metal come together the are called ionic compound

Help Please... giving brainliest..
WINSTONCH [101]

1) Well, you need to logically think about which of the pecan trees would be better. Tree 3 may have more clusters but they taste bitter so this is out of the option. So Tree 4 and Tree 1 would be best because they both have rich and buttery tastes and they both have a lot of clusters.

2) Not quite sure about this one, sorry :(
