Their atoms have free-floating electrons that easily pass kinetic energy throughout the metal.

Explanation:

The metallic structure of metals allows for delocalized electrons. This means these free electrons can no longer be associated with only one atom in the metallic element but rather the electrons can move freely within the lattice. These electrons can carry with them energy and transmit it within the metal. This is why metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. The more delocalized electrons the metal has (such as Aluminium) the better it is at conducting heat and electricity.

The phenomenon of multiple, overlapping action potentials gradually building muscle tension is called:

rewona [7]

The answer is graded potential<span>. Its made of various action potentials that depolarise the neuron incrementaly, in short interspersed intervals that do not give time for the neurons to return to resting potential. Therefore, the actions potentials, of varying sizes, grade up in sum and when they cumulatively reach the threshold level, they invoke an impulse in the nerve</span>
