The EKG is hooked up, and Mr. M's trace looks very abnormal. His heart rate is low. The T wave, which indicates repolarization of the ventricles, is unusually large and pointed and the QRS wave, which indicates the depolarization impulse's passage through the ventricles, is widened or slowed That's a classic EKG for hyperkalemia (high blood potassium)!" The doctor gives Mr. M an injection of calcium gluconate Calcium ions block the Nat channels on nerve and muscle cells. How will this help counteract the effects of high blood K?
a) Mr. M's cells are depolarizing too easily. Blocking Nat channels will make it harder for them to depolarize, bringing their sensitivity back to normal
b) Mr. M has too little K* leaving his cells, so we need to block the Nat channels so the Kt channels can stay open and his cells can repolarize properly.
c) Mr. M has too little K* leaving his cells, so we need to block the Nat channels so the Na /K+ ATPase can move Kt out of the cell effectively
d) Blocking Na* channels cannot help- it will only make his cells fire less, and he already has a weak heartbeat. Mr. M's cells are not repolarizing properly.
e) Blocking Nat channels will help them repolarize normally, bringing their resting potential back to normal.

Why is the theory of evolution important? it disproves all other theories about how life began. it provides a topic for debate. it is a unifying concept in biology. it explains how life began. i know for sure, it is not "it is a unifying concept in biology."
