When an action potential arrives at the axon terminal of a motor neuron, which ion channels open?

Biology
1 answer:
HACTEHA [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Calcium voltage gated ion channels

Explanation:

There are two types of ion channels involved in the neuromuscular junction and end plate potentials: voltage-gated ion channel (responsive to changes in membrane voltage which cause the voltage gated ion channel to open) and ligand-gated ion channel (responsive to certain molecules such as neurotransmitters).

The resting membrane potential of a motor neuron goes from -70mV to -50 with a higher concentration of sodium outside and a higher concentration of potassium inside. <em>When an action potential propagates down a nerve and reaches the axon terminal of the motor neuron, the change in membrane voltage causes the calcium voltage gated ion channels to open allowing for an influx of calcium ions. </em>These calcium ions cause the acetylcholine vesicles  to release acetylcholine via exocytosis into the synaptic cleft.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

Vlad [161]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

1. Archaea are prokaryotic cells. These are one of the two prokaryotic organism domain. the other is eubacteria.

2. Eubacteria cell wall contains peptidoglycan which is composed of sugar and amino acids.

3. Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound nucleus or organelles. which distinguishes it from prokaryotic cells.

4. All archaea domain organisms found in extreme conditions such as halophiles, extremophiles, and thermophile.

5. The cell wall of the plant is made of cellulose, a polymer of glucose units.

6. Eubacteria are considered to be the first living organism or form found on earth.

7. Fungi cell walls are made up of a chitin cell wall. which is makes it different from eubacteria and plants.

8. Fungi uses absorption to obtain nutrients. Most of the fungi uses haustaurium to absorb nutrients.

9.Fungi are organism that do not fit in other eukaryotic category. Hence they were classified as separate kingdom in 5 kingdom classification.

10.plants are classifies as autotrophs because they make their own food.These autotrophs serve as primary producers.

11.Corals have a symbiotic relationship with algae. Algae provide food for coral through photosynthesis where as coral provide protection to algae.

12.corals are classified as autotrophs due to their relationship with algae.They are mixotrophs generally because they act as autotrophs with association of algae and capture prey by tentacles thus making heterotrophic nutrition.
