How will preventing the inactivation of sodium channels affect the signaling capability of a neuron?

1 answer:

8 0

The neuron becomes more positive. This can lead to the neuron reaching threshold and then initiate an action potential. When the sodium channels are NOT functional, the sodium can not enter and depolarize it. Therefore the threshold can not be met and action potential will not occur. If the sodium channels are inactive in a nociceptive neuron (carries information about pain), then it will prevent you from feeling pain.

What is the net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when aqueous solutions of naoh and hno3 are mixed?

likoan [24]

Answer:-

H+ + OH- --> H2O

Explanation:-

The chemical equation is NaOH + HNO3 --> NaNO3 + H2O

Now for the ionic compounds

HNO3 --> H+ + NO3 -

NaOH--> Na+ + OH-

NaNO3 --> Na+ + NO3-

Water being covalent will remain as H2O,

Hence

HNO3 + NaOH--> NaNO3 + H2O

H+ + NO3 - + Na+ + OH- --> Na+ + No3 - + H2O.

Crossing out common terms

H+ + OH- --> H2O
