During an action potential, activation of voltage-gated sodium and potassium channels occurs at different rates. what is the effect of this difference on ion flow across an axon membrane? during an action potential, activation of voltage-gated sodium and potassium channels occurs at different rates. what is the effect of this difference on ion flow across an axon membrane? k+ will flow into the cell first and then na+ will flow out of the cell. initially, na+ flows into the cell and then k+ flows out of the cell. sodium ions flow out of the cell, then potassium ions flow out of the cell. first, sodium ions flow into the cell, and then potassium ions flow into the cell.

Na+ flows into the cell and then K+ flows out of the cell

Explanation:

When the cell is at rest potential, Na+ is more highly concentrated on the outside of the cell, and K+, on the inside of the cell. During an action potential, the plasma membrane depolarizes, Na+ channels are opened and Na+ starts flowing into the cell, in favor of its electrochemical gradient. When this happens, K+ will also be opened and K+ will start flowing outside the cell, causing the membrane potential to go back to its rest value.

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.
