An EPSP in a Membrane

question 47

Multiple Choice

An EPSP in a membrane

• A)Is a direct result of the opening of ligand-sensitive channels for Na⁺ and K⁺ ions in the membrane
• B)Is a direct result of the opening of voltage-gated channels for Na⁺ and K⁺ ions in the membrane
• C)Stabilizes the membrane to remain at its resting potential
• D)Both is a direct result of the opening of ligand-sensitive channels for Na⁺ and K⁺ ions in the membrane and stabilizes the membrane to remain at its resting potential are correct
• E)Both is a direct result of the opening of voltage-gated channels for Na⁺ and K⁺ ions in the membrane and stabilizes the membrane to remain at its resting potential are correct

Definitions:

Kilovolt-Ampere

A unit of apparent power in an electrical circuit, equivalent to 1,000 volt-amperes, commonly used in the electricity sector.

Pure Resistive Load

An electrical load that has no capacitance or inductance, resulting in current and voltage being in phase.

Power Factor

A dimensionless number between 0 and 1 that measures the efficiency of an electrical system, calculated as the ratio of real power to apparent power.

Voltage

The electrical potential difference between two points in a circuit, measuring the energy required to move a unit charge between those points.
