Answer:

opening of sodium channels

Explanation:

Sodium channels are integral membrane proteins that form ion channels, conducting sodium ions (Na+) through a cell's plasma membrane. Sodium channels are the founding members of ion channel super-family that includes voltage-gated calcium channels, TRP channels, voltage-gated, inward rectifying, and two-pore-domain potassium channels, and cyclic nucleotide-regulated CNG and HCN channels. When the neuron becomes stimulated the voltage gated sodium channels begin to open and the membrane potential begins to slowly depolarizes and sodium enters the cell down its concentration gradient.

Any stimulus that opens a ________ ion channel will produce a graded potential.
Fiesta28 [93]

E) All of the answers are correct.

Ion channels are proteins located in the membrane that allow ions to pass through the channel pore. Ion channels can be classified (by what opens and closes the channels) into few groups:

• Voltage-gated channels-open and close in response to membrane potential

Examples: Voltage-gated proton channels, Voltage-gated sodium channels, Voltage-gated potassium channels

• Ligand-gated (neurotransmitter) or ionotropic receptors (ligand binds to extracellular domain of the receptor

Examples: "nicotinic" Acetylcholine receptor, ionotropic glutamate-gated receptors

• Lipid-gated- lipid molecules bind to the  transmembrane domain of the channel

Example: Inward-rectifier potassium channels

• Light-gated channels-like rhodopsin channel that is directly opened by photons

• Mechanosensitive (e.g. stretch, pressure) ion channels.

A hydrocarbon consists of four carbon atoms with one double bond. Predict the molecular formula of this compound.
ivanzaharov [21]
These ones it helps to draw. you have four carbons and each one must have 4 covalent bonds coming off of it, but the double bond will act as a 2 covalent bonds between carbon atoms rather than 1. You should get C4H8. Alternatively the alkene formula can be used (alkenes are molecules with a C to C double bond) which states CnH2n will be the Molecular formula where n is the number of carbons.
