For the voltage-gated sodium channel to allow sodium into the cell:_______.

Biology
1 answer:
Lostsunrise [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The correct option is - (a) the activation and inactivation gates must both be open.

Explanation:

Option (a) is correct because of the following reason -

The axonal membrane is at its natural resting potential until an action potential occurs, and Na^+ channels are deactivated and blocked on the extracellular side by their activation gates. The activation gates open in response to an electric current, allowing positively charged Na^+ ions to flow into the neuron through the channels. When enough Na^+ has penetrated the neuron and the membrane potential has reached a certain level, the Na^+ channels inactivate themselves by closing their inactivation gates at the height of the action potential. The inactivation gate can be thought of as a "plug" tethered to the intracellular alpha subunit's domains III and IV. When the inactivation gate is closed, the flow of Na^+ through the channel is stopped. As a result, both the activation and inactivation gates must be open to enable sodium ions to enter the cell.

<u>Hence , the correct option is (a).</u>

Diana is moving into a new apartment. She wants to get a heavy chair up to her second-floor apartment, but it will only fit thro
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is D) Diane will have to travel a farther distance to move the chair.</em>

Explanation:

To slide the chair up an inclined path, Diana would have to travel a further distance. While using the ladder to reach the second floor window would have made the distance smaller, but more force would have been required to move the chair through climbing a ladder. Diane would have got easily exhausted for moving the chair across the ladder. Using the inclined path will make the distance farther but as much force would not be required in this process. Hence, the method of using an incline is better.
