Answer: ATP and transport proteins .

Explanation:

Active transport is characterized by the movement of substances and ions against the concentration gradient, that is, it always occurs from places where they are less concentrated to places where they are more concentrated. The sodium-potassium pump is an example of active transport. Sodium concentration is higher in the extracellular environment while potassium is higher in the intracellular environment. Importantly, the energy required for this change comes from the breakdown of the ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecule into ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and phosphate. That is, energy is derived from the degradation of ATP or another high energy phosphate compound, depending on transport proteins.

Answer:

Information from ocean exploration can help us understand how we are affecting and being affected by changes in Earth's environment, including changes in weather and climate. Insights from ocean exploration can help us better understand and respond to earthquakes, tsunamis, and other hazards.

But the relationship between exposure to extreme weather and support for climate policies is small, the study finds. Konisky said the effect of experiencing extreme weather pales next to other factors that influence attitudes toward climate policies, such as one's political beliefs and party affiliation.

A client is being treated for the ingestion of a neurotoxin that interferes with the depolarization phase of action potentials.

masya89 [10]

Answer:

The inflow of sodium ions.

Explanation:

The generation of the action potential requires the change in the membrane potential of the cell. This membrane potential is maintained due to the unequal distribution of the ions.

The cell potential of the cell is -70mV and maintained due to the presence of potassium ions. The depolarization occurs due to the influx of the sodium ions and results in the change in the membrane potential upto +30mV. The neurotoxin that interferes with depolarization process might affect the sodium ions uptake.

Thus, the answer is inflow of sodium ions.
