Describe how the action potential is regenerated by local ion flux

Biology
1 answer:
zhenek [66]3 years ago
6 0
Action potential is a mechanism of transfer of ions across the plasma membrane down their elctrochemical gradient. Action potential is regenerated by the influx of ions such as sodium in case of voltage gated sodium channels. The voltage gated channels can be either open or closed depending on the action potential. Depolarization of membrane leads to the opening of these channels that allow the sodium ions to enter the cell down their electrochemical gradient. The threshold of action potential is reached when the entry of sodium ions out reach the exit of potassium ions from the cell. This leads to the generation of action potential.

β-lactam antibiotics are those antibiotic that that contain a beta-lactam ring (the cyclic amide with the nitrogen atom attached to the β-carbon) in their molecular structures. This class of antibiotics is the most commonly used and it includes penicillin derivatives, cephalosporins, monobactams, and carbapenems.

How many chromosomes are in a haploid cell?
Inga [223]

First you must know that a diploid cell has double the amount of chromosomes of a haploid cell. A diploid cell has 46 chromosomes. When we divide 46 by 2 you get 23. This means that there are 23 chromosomes in a haploid cell.

Hope this helped!
