An action potential in one segment of axon causes adjacent sections of axon membrane to reach threshold through what mechanism?

Biology
1 answer:
Furkat [3]3 years ago
5 0
<h3>Answer:</h3>

The generation of local currents.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

An action potential at the axon hillock generates local currents that depolarize nearby sections of axon to threshold. This change in membrane potential causes voltage-gated Na+ channels to open in the adjacent axon segment. This generates/regenerates the action potential in the adjacent segment, causing the action potential to propagate away from the axon hillock.

What happens to ordinary plants (not C 4 or CAM) when stomata close?
Rom4ik [11]
As humans plants also need oxygen to breathe they only take in carbon dioxide to do photosynthesis.So they wont do photosynthesis at night and so they only need to breathe. even though their stomata are closed at night some oxygen can go inside. and this is how plants breathe when their stomata are … Enzymes change carbon dioxide to glucose.

anyanavicka [17]

Answer: The answer is C!!! :D maintaining homeostasis by regulating the body's temp!

Explanation:

Shivering as a natural, involuntary response to generate heat is an example of  maintaining homeostasis by regulating body temperature.

Homeostasis refers to the maintenance of a relatively constant body environment. The normal range of operation of the body system is known as the setpoint.

When the setpoint temperature for some animals is breached, a negative feedback mechanism is used to return it to the setpoint. Shivering to generate heat is a response to a cold environment when the body's temperature is about to drop below the setpoint.

The oppositeis sweating. Sweating causes cooling and comes in response to when the setpoint temperature is exceeded.

Hopes this helps happy early Christmas!!!! :D
