A scientist stimulates an axon two times within fifteen milliseconds. When measuring voltage changes on the other end of the axon, they only see one action potential. Why does this happen? 1. The membrane does not have enough time to return to its resting potential, and so no action potential can be initiated.

2. Voltage-gated Na+ channels are still inactivated after the first action potential, and so a second action potential can not be initiated.

3. Na+/K+ pumps are actively pumping Na+ out of the axon, which prevents the axon from reaching threshold.

4. Voltage-gated K+ channels are opposing the flow of current from the electrode, preventing the axon from reaching threshold.

Mouse liver cells were homogenized and the homogenate subjected to equilibrium density-gradient centrifugation with sucrose gradients. fractions obtained from these gradients were assayed for marker molecules (i.e., molecules that are limited to specific organelles). the results of these assays are shown in the figure. the marker molecules have the following functions: cytochrome oxidase is an enzyme involved in the process by which atp is formed in the complete aerobic degradation of glucose or fatty acids; ribosomal rna forms part of the protein-synthesizing ribosomes; catalase catalyzes decomposition of hydrogen peroxide; acid phosphatase hydrolysis monophosphoric esters at acid ph; cytidylyltransferase is involved in phospholipid biosynthesis; and amino acid permease aids in transport of amino acids across membranes. a) name the marker molecule and give the number of the fraction that is most enriched for each of the following cell components: lysosomes; peroxisomes; mitochondria; plasma membrane; rough endoplasmic reticulum; smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
