Answer:

A)  A decrease in Na+ permeability, and an increase in K+ permeability.

Explanation:

When the potential action reaches a peak of about +40 mv Na+ channels are open and a high number of Na+ ions are entering the inside of the cell. Shortly after this happens the K+ channels will start to open their gates increasing the cell  K+ permeability  while the Na+ channels will start to close their gates, so the Na+ permeability will decrease. This happens  in order to valance the positive charge on the inside of the cell. Normally the inside has a negative charge while the outside has a positive one, as the inside is more positive due to the increase in Na+ permeability at the beginning of the potential action, K+ cations (which are in abundance in the cell) will have to go out through the K+ channels  so as to restore the charge valance, that means that there is an increase in K+ permeability.

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

ANSWER : a wide range of environmental conditions that shapes communities.

Explanation:

Climate can easily be described as the average weather which occurs in a place over a long period of time probably over many years. The ecosystems and habitats around the earth are shaped due to climate as particular climate can be best for the living condition of one organism but be devastating for the living of another organism. The effect of climate on living communities is such devastating that a change in climate can cause the extinction of a particular kind of species. Climate shall not be confused with weather which is day to day temperature change.
