Answer:

This is because the voltage gated sodium channels which opens for the influx of sodium ions, which caused  increased postivity of the axoplasm closed, with simultaneous opening  of potassium channels.

Therefore depolarization stopped, thus  propagation  and transmission of action potential (caused by depolarization) which cause the reversal of charges in the membrane (making the axoplasm  more negative) for the voltage rise to 40mV also stopped.

In addition the  simultaneous opening  of voltage gated potassium channels caused K+ to leave the axoplasm to the external environments. This makes the inner membrane to be negative further lowering the potential, to -75mv. This is  re-polarization.

Why must cells perform mitosis
Sveta_85 [38]
The main functions of Mitosis are growth and repair.
Cells must perform this to where they can grow or repair. Some cells you cannot regrow nor repair because they are already fully mature, you'll just halve to take care of them.

HOPE THIS HELPS! ^_^

Significance of secondary tissues in plants
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer: Secondary growth is the outward growth of the plant, making it thicker and wider. Secondary growth is important to woody plants because they grow much taller than other plants and need more support in their stems and roots. Lateral trimester are the dividing cells in secondary growth, and produce secondary tissues.
