Graded potentials are directly proportional to the amount of incoming stimulation,while action potentials are not.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Graded potentials are proportional to the amount of incoming stimulation, meaning that the stronger the stimulation, the larger the graded potential will be. In contrast, action potentials have a threshold that must be reached in order to be triggered, and their amplitude is generally constant once triggered, regardless of the strength of the initial stimulus.
