An Action Potential in a Neuronal Membrane Differs from a Graded

question 83

Multiple Choice

An action potential in a neuronal membrane differs from a graded potential in that:

• A) an action potential requires the opening of Ca²⁺ channels, whereas a graded potential does not.
• B) an action potential is propagated without decrement, whereas a graded potential decrements with distance.
• C) an action potential has a threshold, whereas a graded potential is an all-or-none phenomenon.
• D) movement of Na⁺ and K⁺ across cell membranes mediate action potentials, while graded potentials do not involve movement of Na⁺ and K⁺.
• E) action potentials vary in size with the size of a stimulus, while graded potentials do not.
