The answer is generation and propagation of action potential.

Na+ channels are important for generation and propagation of action potential. In normal neurons, when neurons hit threshold and action potential is triggered, the Na+ channels open and Na+ ions enter the neuron. After the depolarization of membrane, Na+ channels inactivate. Thus, w<span>ithout Na+ channels, neurons would not be able to depolarize and consequently, the action potential would not be generated.

Predator and Prey of Asmina Triloba
marta [7]
If you are referring to a Asimina Triloba, also known as the PawPaw Tree, animals like deer, rabbits, mules, bears, and goats have been known to snack on its fruits. However, the fruits are most often consumed by small mammals such as raccoons, opossums, and foxes. They are usually homes for many species of butterfly larvae, most commonly the Zebra Swallowtail Butterfly.
The PawPaw fruits give off the scent of rotten flesh in order to attract blowflies and carrion beetles for cross pollination.
