Answer:

<h2>potassium</h2>

Explanation:

The heartbeats of the heart are controlled by the sinoatrial node also known as the pacemaker of the heart. The impulse is generated in the conducting cells of the pacemaker as a result of the movement of sodium, potassium and calcium ions.

The sodium channels allow the movement of sodium into the cell which depolarizes the membrane from -60mv to -40 mv. At this point, the calcium gated channels open which allow the entry of the calcium in the cell which depolarizes the cell up to +5mv.

At this point, the potassium channels open which allows the potassium ions to move out of the cell. This repolarizes the cell and hence the cycle again begins.  Reducing the permeability of the potassium ions help generate the autorhythmicity due to repolarization and thus is the correct answer.

How does limiting factors -such as space, light, and food- affect a population?
Anni [7]
These factors are essential for the growth and life span of the population of species in an ecosystem. The larger the space, the more light it obtains, and the more food the area produces; the larger the population of species in an ecosystem. having less space, light, and food, the results would be vice versa.

The hormone __________ stimulates the secretion of pancreatic digestive enzymes and stimulates gallbladder contraction.
Roman55 [17]

Answer: option B) Secretin

Explanation:

Secretin is an enzyme formed by the upper intestinal layer and gets transported by blood to the PANCREAS which it stimulates: causing the flow of pancreatic juice, also the flow of bile and intestinal juice but to a lesser extent.

Alongside Gastrin, Secretin is one of the hormones of the Gastrointestinal tract; but their functions differ

Therefore, Secretin is the answer
