he entire membrane does not depolarize at the same time. Instead, an action potential is propagated from one segment of the nembrane to the next down the length of the axon. Fill in the blanks of the following statements that explain aspects of an action potential. three msec for a segment of It takes approximately membrane to depolarize then repolarize back to rest. resting previous While a segment of membrane is repolarizing, the next segment towards the terminal end of the axon is four Threshold is the membrane potential at which voltage-gated sodium channels will open. The voltage-gated sodium channels for a specific segment of membrane are triggered to open by the change in membrane potential of the repolarizing segment of membrane. To start another action potential, segment A must be at membrane potential. depolarizing

Osmosis

In simple words, osmosis is the slow, gradual movement of a liquid through a membrane. But there are nuances to this process. For instance, there has to be an imbalance in the distribution of solute in the liquid on either side of the membrane, which has to be semipermeable. The liquid in the region with a lower solute concentration moves to the region with a higher concentration, thereby displacing the solution in the process. The objective is to equalize the concentration of molecules on both sides of the membrane; the displacement of liquid can be viewed as a byproduct of this equalization. Since there is no energy required to carry osmosis, it is considered a passive process.
