Answer:

b. The opening of ligand-gated cation channels

Step-by-step explanation:

When an acetylcholine ligand molecule binds to its receptor in the sarcolemma, it triggers a conformational change.

A "gate" in the receptor opens and allows Na⁺ ions to pass through a channel into the muscle fibre.

Hence the term ligand-gated cation channel.

An atom gets over all positive charge by ____ _______

Rasek [7]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Nucleus.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In an atom the nucleus has an overall positive charge as it contains the protons.
Every atom has no overall charge (neutral). While atoms do contain charged particles, they have the same number of positive protons as negative electrons( for example a sodium atom has 11 electrons which are of negative charge and 11 protons which are of positive charge).
These opposite charges cancel each other out making the atom neutral.

Result: Nucleus is the overall positive charge of an atom.

The solubility of magnesium phosphate at a given temperature is 0.173 g/L. Calculate the Ksp at this temperature. After you calc

jek_recluse [69]

Answer: $K_{sp}=1.25\times 10^{-14}$

$pK_{sp}=13.90$

Explanation:

Solubility product is defined as the equilibrium constant in which a solid ionic compound is dissolved to produce its ions in solution. It is represented as $K_{sp}$

The equation for the ionization of magnesium phosphate is given as:

$Mg_3(PO_4)_2\rightarrow 3Mg^{2+}+2PO_4^{3-}$

When the solubility of $Mg_3(PO_4)_2$ is S moles/liter, then the solubility of $Mg^{2+}$ will be 3S moles\liter and solubility of $PO_4^{3-}$ will be 2S moles/liter.
