Can you explain the importance of the refractory period within the axon?

The refractory period means that another action potential cannot be generated.This is important as it allows the action potential to not propagate back but reset via the sodium-potassium pump, to restore ...

Write an equation for a line parallel to 2y = 4x - 10

Divide the equation by two to get y = 2x - 5This shows that the gradient of the line is 2. Any other equation with the gradient equal to 2 (the x coefficient) when the y coefficient is 1.e.g. y = 2x +12 <...

(a) The equation of a line L is 2x-3y=6. Find the gradient of L. (b) Find the equation of the line which is parallel to L and passes through the point (6,9)

(a) y=mx+c3y=2x-6y=(2x-6)/3(b) y=mx+c9=(2/3)x6+cc=5y=(2/3)x+5
