Tetrodotoxin is a potent toxin found in a variety of organisms including the pufferfish. The toxin binds to the extracellular side of the Na+ channel and prevents channel opening. This leads to paralysis of muscles, including the diaphragm. Death from respiratory failure can occur after ingestion of as little as 1 mg of the toxin. Why does this toxin cause paralysis? Question 7 options: The axon membranes become over-depolarized. The Na+ channels remain in the inactive, refractory state. The Na+ channel does not open wide enough to allow enough Na+ through the channel. The membrane depolarization is not amplified along the axon.

The correct answer is - The membrane depolarization is not amplified along the axon.

Explanation:

Tetrodotoxin, a neurotoxin present in the liver and gonads of Marine organisms. it can inhibit the soidum channels which means it blocks the entering of the sodium in the cells or neurons if consumed it and it can lead to neurological and gastrointestinal disorders.

These toxins block the signals to move along the nerves to muscles In absence of sodium action potential cannot be sent along the axon by blocking the sodium channels. This results in weakening and paralysis.

before, trains worked using the steam engine. thus, it uses heat so it is crucial to apply heat balance. the steam engine absorbs energy during the stage of boiling water. so, this is the endothermic reaction. when the steam is used to work the piston, it has to release this energy through running the train. the excess energy is released as an exhaust to the chimney. this is the exothermic process because it releases energy to the surroundings.
