Best Answer

The movement of positively charged ions across the membrane of a neuron can produce action potential. Electrical potentials are commonly generated across the membranes of neurons as well.

What is the control center of an atom?

NucleusThe nucleus. The nucleus helps regulate the cell's entire activities such as how much of a hormone to produce or what to let through the cell membrane. It contains the nucleolis as well, which is an organelle which helps produce ribosomes, which are the filaments that make rough endoplasmic reticulum rough and excrete waste.


When ionic bonds form compounds each atom has a stable octet and is electrically what?

Charged. For example sodium metal reacts with chlorine to produce sodium chloride. This reaction produces two atoms with an octet, sodium which has lost one electron and chlorine which has gained one. The sodium atom is now positively charged, and is called a sodium ion and the chlorine negatively charged and is called a chloride ion.


How do hydrogen fuel cells work?

The hydrogen fuel cell operates similar to a battery. It has two electrodes, an anode and a cathode, separated by a membrane. Oxygen passes over one electrode and hydrogen over the other.The hydrogen reacts to a catalyst on the electrode anode that converts the hydrogen gas into negatively charged electrons (e-) and positively charged ions.The electrons flow out of the cell to be used as electrical energy. The hydrogen ions move through the electrolyte membrane to the cathode electrode where they combine with oxygen and the electrons to produce water. Unlike batteries, fuel cells never run out. In principle, a fuel cell operates like a battery. Unlike a battery, a fuel cell does not run down or require recharging. It will produce energy in the form of electricity and heat as long as fuel is supplied.


What is the charge that ions have called?

A positivley charged ion, will produce a charge called Cation and negativley charged ions produce a charge called a anion. YOU'RE WELCOME.


If a fluorine atom were to attract an extra electron from lithium the lithium atom would become charged?

The chlorine atom would become a negatively charged chlorine anion because it has an extra electron, and the lithium atom would become a positively charged cation because it has lost one electron.

How does lightning produce its heat?

The fast movement of the charged particles. Heat in everything is the exciting of a substances particles. That is all Lightning really is. The movement of charged particles from a place of higher charge to a place of lower charge. This is the basis of Electricity.

What is the definition of a battery?

potato battery do not directly produce electricity. The chemical composition of the potato when combined with zinc in metals together with copper is what causes a reaction between the released positively charged and negatively charged ions of the potato resulting in the flow of electricity.

How do molecules produce spectral lines unrelated to the movement of electrons between energy levels?

The nuclei also interact with each other (being charged particles) and therefore have energy levels which can decay to produce photons.

Did Ca plus plus gain an electron to produce the charge?

Ca2+ is positively charged. Remember that an electron is a particle with negative charge; therefore, the element Calcium (Ca) has LOST 2 electrons in order to be positive 2.


Why tornadoes rotates circle?

Tornadoes rotate in a circe due to electricity. The particles in the air have a nuetral charge and when two places in the electromagnetic field come close with opposite charges, they both charge and repel the air particles. The nuetral particles drifts towards the positively charged EM field which charges it positively. Once it is charged, the negative EM field attracts it and begins to charge it negatively. Once it is charged negatively the positive EM field attracts it again. This cycle will produce a circular motion which it what causes tornadoes to spin.
