When the inner cell membrane becomes positively charged, it disrupts the normal resting membrane potential, potentially leading to depolarization. This change can trigger the opening of voltage-gated ion channels, allowing sodium ions to flow into the cell, further increasing the positive charge inside. If the depolarization reaches a certain threshold, it can initiate an action potential, resulting in the propagation of electrical signals in excitable cells such as neurons and muscle cells. Ultimately, this process is crucial for cellular communication and muscle contraction.
What else can I help you with?
What is a postively charged heavy particle that together with the neutron is found in the nucleus of the atom?
A proton
What is closer to nucleus the stronger the attractive force?
When it is close to the nucleus because the postively charged protons attract the negatively charged electrons
What happens when the inner cell membrane becomes positively charged?
When the inner cell membrane becomes positively charged, it can trigger various cellular responses such as the opening of ion channels, the activation of signaling pathways, and changes in membrane potential. These responses can affect cell function, signaling, and communication with other cells.
What type of compound is composed of negatively and postively charge atoms?
Ionic compounds are made up of positively charged cations and negatively charged anions.
How an atom becomes postively or negatively charged when it loses or gains electrons?
An atom is electrically neutral only because the positively charged protons in the nucleus are balanced by the negatively charged electrons orbiting them. Therefore if an atom looses or gains an electrons, the balance is disrupted and an atom overall becomes positively or negatively charged. Loss of electrons will make the atom positvely charged and vice versa.
A postively charged particle in an atom is called a?
Proton.
What is a postively charged heavy particle that together with the neutron is found in the nucleus of the atom?
A proton
What happenes when a magnesium atom loses an electron in its outer energy?
It becomes a positive ion. However, energetically it is more favorable for magnesium to lose two electrons. It still becomes a positively charged cation.
What is closer to nucleus the stronger the attractive force?
When it is close to the nucleus because the postively charged protons attract the negatively charged electrons
Is carbon postively charged?
No. Any element on its own is neutral, meaning it does not have a charge. Carbon rarely forms ions, and when it does they are negatively charged.

What is a gas-like mixture with no definite volume or shape that is made up of postively and negatively charged particles?
plasma
What is a postively charged particles?
Protons carry a positive charge, electrons carry a negative charge and neutrons do not carry a charge.
What kind of element forms cation after ionic bounding?
Metals typically form cations after ionic bonding by losing electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. This results in a positively charged ion due to the loss of electrons.
Is it true that when salt formed by postively charged sodium ions and negatively charged chlorine ions the charge on the salt becomes positive?
No, when positively charged sodium ions and negatively charged chlorine ions combine to form salt (sodium chloride), the overall charge of the salt is neutral. This is because the positive charges from sodium ions balance out the negative charges from chlorine ions.
