D)They will have longer refractory periods.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Toxins that disrupt ion gradients (such as valinomycin) would prevent proper ion exchange necessary for the generation of action potentials. Without proper ion exchange, action potentials are not possible. Therefore, choice C is the correct answer.
