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.

The work of Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace on the origin of the Earth's species extended the ideas of Lyell's uniformitariani
Morgarella [4.7K]
<h2>The work of Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace </h2>

Explanation:

C) uniform modification of genetic traits over long periods of time.

The theory of uniformitarianism  states that the natural phenomena and laws that are bringing about changes in the today's world are functioning in the same rate since the geological times. This idea of uniformitarianism was linked to biological sciences because according to Darwin and Wallace's observation, the uniform modification of genes among the population brought about the species diversity on the Earth.

What happens to predator populations when prey populations are scarce? Why?
GenaCL600 [577]
When prey is abundant, predator populations increase because more young are able to survive. More predators kill more prey, which, along with food scarcity, decreases the population. When prey becomes more scarce, the predator population declines until prey is again more abundant. Therefore, the two balance each other.
