iragen [17]
The answer is Na + is entering the cell and the K + is leaving, during the depolarization phase of the action potential open Na + channels allow Na + ions to diffuse into the cell. This inward movement of positive charge makes the membrane potential more positive. The depolarization phase is a positive response sequence where open Na + channels cause depolarization which in re-occurrence causes more voltage gated Na+ channels to open.

A plant ‘X' has needle-like waxy leaves,plant ‘Y' has spiny leaves and a well developed root system,whereas, plant ‘Z' has ribbo
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Habitats of the plants:

X : winter or cold mountainous habitat

Y : desert habitat

Z:  Aquatic habitat

Explanation:

The X plant leave morphology suggests that thick wax coating of leaf helps it to retain water in it. Such plants are called conifers. They are not shed every year so suitable for sunlight to be captured for photosynthesis. In cold regions heavy wind happens cone like leaf is able to resist the winds and prevent it from falling. The cone like structure of leaves help them let the snowfall.

The plant Y leaves and root morphology suggests that it is well suited for dry lands or desert as where less water is there. They store water for longer time when it rains because of the extensive root system. The spine leaves help in reduced transpiration as water scarcity is there.

The plant Z leaves morphology suggests that thin and ribbon structure leaves can help them resist the pressures of flowing water as there are air space in the leaves which provide buoyancy to the leaves.
