Electric eels are the strongest bioelectricity generators among all animals. They are the rare type of fish that use their elect
ric fields not just for communication and navigation, but also for hunting and defense. A volley of their high voltage chargers can last up to three seconds and paralyzing prey. Cellular Circuitry is when thousands of excitable cells called electrocytes make up the eel’s electric organs. When activated, gated sodium channels in the electrocytes’ membranes open. An incoming flow of ions then polarizes the eel’s skin and creates an electrostatic field in the water around it. The voltage one electric eel can generate is the sum of all the small charges produced by the electrocytes. Please write this summary in your own words.
