Suppose an ion channel opens and allows the influx of chloride (Cl^-),a negative ion,into a cell.Which change would occur in the cell membrane? A) Equilibrium B) Hyperpolarization C) Graded depolarization D) All-or-none depolarization E) Generation of an action potential

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The influx of negatively charged Cl- ions would result in an increase in the negative charge inside the cell, leading to hyperpolarization of the membrane potential.
