Answer:

D) Na+ is used to repolarize the membrane.

Explanation:

Option D is wrong choice because it is K+ which is used to repolarize the membrane not Na+.

As soon as membrane gets depolarized because of influx of Na+ due to opening of voltage gated Na+ channels simultaneous opening of voltage gated K+ channels and closing of Na+ voltage gated channels takes place. As a result of which K+ moves out of the cell leading to drawing of electrochemical gradient out of the cell.

In order to achieve resting membrane potential, more Na+ must be out of the cell and more K+ must be inside the cell. There are many leaky channels on neurons from which Na+ has tendency to leak into the cell while K+ has the tendency to leak outside of the cell. So Na+/K+ pump which is located on the membrane of neuron keeps pushing Na+ outside of the cell and K+ inside the cell so as to maintain resting membrane potential which is -70 mV.

During spermatogenesis, which of the following undergoes meiosis II to produce four haploid mature sperm cells?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
<span>The primordial germ cell in the embryo undergoes mitosis to produce a spermatogonial stem cell.

The spermatogonial stem cell undergoes mitosis. The new cells could either be stem cells or spermatogonium cells.

The spermatogonium undergoes mitosis to generate a primary spermatocyte.

*** Up until this point, all cells are diploid ****

The primary spermatocyte (diploid) undergoes MEIOSIS I to generate TWO haploid secondary spermatocytes.

Each secondary spermatocyte undergoes MEIOSIS II to generate a total of FOUR early spermatid.

The spermatid mature in the seminiferous tubule, and once they are completely mature they are released into the lumen.

Now called sperm cells, they pass into the epididymis, where they are stored until time to be released during ejaculation
