The following statement describes, in random order, events during the transmission of a nerve impulse. Use them to answer the next \g question(s).
Event 1: Positive ions flow into the neuron.
Event 2: The resting potential of the cell membrane is restored.
Event 3: The cell membrane becomes more permeable to Na+ than to K+.
Event 4: More positive ions accumulate on the outside than on the inside of the neuron.
Event 5: The ion pumps transport Na+ out of the neuron and K+ into the neuron.

To answer the questions, we can analyze the given events and their sequence.
1. Which order of events first describes the resting membrane and then the sequence of events as a nerve impulse occurs?
Let's break down the events and their descriptions:
Event 1: Positive ions flow into the neuron.
This event happens during the depolarization phase of a nerve impulse.
Event 2: The resting potential of the cell membrane is restored.
This event occurs during repolarization, where the cell membrane returns to its original polarized state.
Event 3: The cell membrane becomes more permeable to Na+ than to K+.
This event describes the changes in ion channel permeability during depolarization.
Event 4: More positive ions accumulate on the outside than on the inside of the neuron.
This event illustrates the electrical gradient across the cell membrane.
Event 5: The ion pumps transport Na+ out of the neuron and K+ into the neuron.
This event refers to the active transport mechanism that helps restore the ionic balance after depolarization.
Now, let's analyze the answer options:
a) 1, 3, 4, 5, 2
b) 1, 5, 3, 4, 2
c) 4, 3, 1, 5, 2
d) 4, 5, 3, 4, 2
To determine the correct order, we need to identify the events that represent the resting membrane state first, followed by the sequence of events during a nerve impulse.
From the given events and their descriptions, we can see that the correct order is:
Resting membrane (Event 4) -> Depolarization (Event 1) -> Changes in ion channel permeability (Event 3) -> Active transport to restore ionic balance (Event 5) -> Restoration of resting potential (Event 2).
The correct answer is option c) 4, 3, 1, 5, 2.
2. The events from the statement that describe polarization, depolarization, and repolarization respectively are:
a) 1, 4, 2
b) 1, 5, 2
c) 4, 1, 2
d) 4, 5, 1
Based on the descriptions of the events:
Event 1: Positive ions flow into the neuron (depolarization).
Event 4: More positive ions accumulate on the outside than on the inside of the neuron (polarization).
Event 2: The resting potential of the cell membrane is restored (repolarization).
Therefore, the events describing polarization, depolarization, and repolarization respectively are: d) 4, 5, 1.
Your answers are correct!
Keep in mind that it's important to fully understand the concepts behind the events and their order to answer the questions accurately.
