The number of electrons in the outermost shell determines essentially the type of chemical reactions that an atom participates in it is because these electrons are involved in chemical reactions as they can be donated, shared and thus rearranged by forming covalent bonds to produce new substances

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

d. more permeable to sodium ions.

Explanation:

The binding of Acetylcholine  with the receptors at  motor end plate facilitate   membrane permeability to sodium ions therefore  opening of voltage gated channels for sodium ions.

Sodium ions diffused into the synapse of post synaptic neuron at the neuromuscular junction.

If  the  stimulus is up to threshold levels; more chemical(neurotransmitter) gated sodium channels opens, and sodium ions move into the  synapse to depolarize the membrane with  reversal of charges to generate action potential.

The continuous  binding of Acetycholine , leads to permanent opening of sodium ions,and over excitation from depolarization.  Acetycholinesterase enzymes breakdown Acetycholine to choline  and Acetyl Co -A. These are recycle back to Acetycholiine

liraira [26]
Current treatment for Wilms' tumor includes Surgery and radiation. 
Wilms tumor is a type of cancer that starts in the kidneys.  It is the most common type of cancer in children. It is a rare kidney cancer that primarily affects children. Surgery treatment to remove the tumor is the first treatment if it can be done, followed by radiation therapy. The entire abdomen will be treated if there is still some cancer left after surgery. If the cancer has spread to the lungs, low doses of radiation might also be given to that area.

What is mutation? How does it contribute to adaptation or evolution?
alexgriva [62]
A mutation is a new element added to the genetic buildup of an organism. this leads to new abilities that makes that organism adapt to different things, this is passed down through the organisms descendants which will help them get through situations other organisms can't, thus helping the entire species evolve.
