What allows the action potential to return to a repolarized state?

There are choices for this question namely:

<span>a. K+ leaks into cells.
b. Voltage-gated Na+ channels become inactivated.
c. Voltage-gated K+ channels become inactivated.
d. Na+ reaches equilibrium across the neural membrane and stops leaking in.
e. Voltage-gated Na+ channels close.

The correct answer is "voltage-gated Na+ channels become inactivated". In the events concerning an action potential, the first event is a stimulus that depolarize the resting membrane potential up to the threshold. When the threshold is reached there will be opening of voltage gated Na+ channels wherein sodium can enter the cell and make the membrane more positive therefore called depolarization. After depolarization, voltage gated Na+ channels become inactivated and K+ leaks out of the cell making the cell less negative hence repolarization. After which, more and more K+ ions leaks out making the membrane more negative than the resting membrane potential hence hyperpolarization. When K+ channels are inactivated, the cell membrane will eventually go back to its resting membrane potential.</span>

The right answers are mentioned in the picture.

A base pair (bp) is the pairing of two nucleobases located on two complementary strands of DNA or RNA. This pairing is carried out by hydrogen bridges. There are four types of nucleic bases: A-T-C-G, these letters for Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine. A with T and C with G.

It is also necessary to take into account the antiparallel character of the DNA strands. If a strand is in the 5 '3' direction, its complete strand is in the 3 '5' direction.

viva [34]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-annelids

Explanation:

Annelids in the phylum of animals which includes about 22000 extant species. The animals of this group possess segmented body and thus are called ringed worms.

Each segment of the body contains the same organs and are usually found in the aquatic environment in the hydrothermal vents and the tidal zones. Some species are found in the terrestrial environment.

Since the biologist found the animal from the deep ocean with a segmented body and soft skin therefore, the animal belongs to the annelids.

Thus, option-annelids is the correct answer.
