How do sodium and potassium ions transfer in and out of an axon?

Chemistry
1 answer:
aliya0001 [1]3 years ago

Answer:

Option A= through gates that,s open up

Explanation:

The sodium and potassium ions transfer in and out the axon through electrical process. This process is called depolarization and re-polarization.

Depolarization:

Depolarization is occur when stimulus is given to the resting neuron. In this process gates of sodium ions on the membrane become open and sodium ions that are present out side. inter into the cell. because of this process the charge of the nerve changes (-70 mv to -55 mV).

Re-polarization:

when the re-polarization occur, potassium gates are open and the potassium ions goes outside the membrane. During this process electrical potential becomes negative inside the cell until the potential of -70 mV is re-attain i.e, resting potential.

In short we can say that depolarization allow sodium ions to inter into the nerve membrane and re-polarization allow potassium ions to moves out side the membrane.
