What type of ions carry the impulse across the synapse from one neuron to the next ?

Biology
1 answer:
grandymaker [24]2 years ago
7 0

It's the sodium ion.

When a neural impulse is fired in both neurons, it is always cause by an excited electron in one neuron moving to the other neuron to destabilize the balance of ions trying to keep them at equilibrium. This action either depolarizes or hyper-polarizes the membrane. If it does, then sodium ions--the key deficient ones--can flow into that region of low charge and maintain that state of low charge, keeping the cell membrane stable.

What hypothesis did Darwin investigate by studying the breeding of pigeons with distinctive traits?
siniylev [52]

Answer:

New species can appear gradually through small changes in an ancestral species.

Explanation:

The new species that appear are due to hereditary variations that occur in a population. The adaptive variations are said to confer a selective advantage to organisms possessing them. The result of variations is that well adapted individuals are able to survive and reach the reproductive age and pass over their favourable characteristics to their offspring.

scoundrel [369]
The coral provides the algae with a protected safe environment (a home) and compounds they need for photosynthesis. The algae in return, produce oxygen and help the coral to remove wastes.
