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

Chemistry

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.

Consider dissolving sugar in water and magnesium sulfate in water. is any new substance being produced? what happens after sodiu
Olenka [21]

Answer:

Here's what I get  

Explanation:

1. Sugar

(a) Dissolving in water

The white solid dissolves in water to give a colourless solution. There is no evidence that a new substance is being produced.

(b) Addition of sodium hydroxide

Adding the colourless solution of sodium hydroxide to the colourless sugar solution gives a colourless solution. There is no evidence that a new substance is being produced.

2. Magnesium sulfate

(a) Dissolving in water

The colourless crystals dissolve in water to give a colourless solution. There is no evidence that a new substance is being produced.

(b) Addition of sodium hydroxide

Adding the colourless solution of sodium hydroxide to the colourless solution of magnesium sulfate gives a white precipitate (see image). This is evidence that a new substance is being produced.

In a certain industrial process involving a heterogeneous catalyst, the volume of the catalyst (in the shape of a sphere) is 10.
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

a. The second run will be faster.

d. The second run has twice the surface area.

Explanation:

The rate of a reaction is proportional to the surface area of a catalyst. Given the volume (V) of a sphere, we can find its surface area (A) using the following expression.

A=\pi ^{1/3} (6V)^{2/3}

The area of the 10.0 cm³-sphere is:

A=\pi ^{1/3} (6.10.0)^{2/3}=22.4cm^{2}

The area of each 1.25 cm³-sphere is:

A=\pi ^{1/3} (6. 1.25)^{2/3}=5.61cm^{2}

The total area of the 8 1.25cm³-spheres is 8 × 5.61 cm² = 44.9 cm²

The ratio of  8 1.25cm³-sphere to 10.0 cm³-sphere is 44.9 cm²/22.4 cm² = 2.00

Since the surface area is doubled, the second run will be faster.
