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.

Why do metals conduct electricity? Brainliest! <br> Already looked it up, so don't try it :)
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Luckily I did the same thing and it was in my docs

Explanation:

Electricity is the flow of electrical power or charge. Everyday, we use electricity to do many jobs for us from lighting and heating/cooling our homes, to powering our televisions and computers. We get electricity from the conversion of other sources of energy, like coal, natural gas, oil, nuclear power and other natural sources. Electricity can be broken down into some very simple, natural elements. The biggest of which is the atom. Atoms are everything.

Not only that we are made of atoms, but atoms are everywhere. It's a known fact that almost anyone should know.

Which of these pollutants is biodegradable?
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Food waste

Explanation:

Food waste is an organic compound, unlike the other choices. Organic compounds are biodegradable because living organisms, such as decomposers, have evolved mechanisms of breaking down these large carbon-based compounds/polymers into smaller molecules for energy. Food waste is therefore easily recycled into the environment.

The others do not have naturally occurring organisms to break them down or reduce them. They would, therefore, accumulate in the environment. This is exactly what is happening to plastc pollution. Accumulation of plastic in the environment is due to fact that they are not broken down into simpler molecules by any naturally occurring bacteria or organisms in the environment.
