What happens when lakes are acidified?

Biology
1 answer:
Dima020 [189]3 years ago
5 0
Lakes that have been acidified cannot support the same variety of life as healthy lakes. As a lake becomes more acidic, crayfish and clam populations are the first to disappear, then various types of fish. Many types of plankton-minute organisms that form the basis of the lake's food chain-are also affected. As fish stocks dwindle, so do populations of loons and other water birds that feed on them. The lakes, however, do not become totally dead. Some life forms actually benefit from the increased acidity. Lake-bottom plants and mosses, for instance, thrive in acid lakes. So do blackfly larvae.

The action potential can move only in one direction because the recently depolarized area of the membrane is an absolute refract
Nataly [62]

Answer: Na+ channels are closed

Explanation:

The refractory period describes a period between the initiation of an action potential (where Na+ channels are active/open), and immediately after the action potential’s peak.  In the absolute refractory period, action potentials cannot be generated, as Na+ channels are in an inactive or closed state, they usually take around one or two minutes.  

After the absolute refractory period the relative refractory period (RRP) occurs. During the RRP, it is hard to send another action potential. Na+ channels are once again open, but the cell remains hyperpolarized-  its membrane potential, remains negative. Recovery from inactivation is voltage and time-dependent; Action potentials would require an influx of more positively charged ions. These must be more than a specific threshold in order to have the cells send along more action potentials which helps with figuring out stimulus intensity.
