Which of the following is NOT true about changes in the membrane potential?
A) An increase in the movement of potassium out of the cell creates a hyperpolarization
B) An increase in the movement of calcium ions into the cell creates a hyperpolarization
C) An increase in the movement of sodium ions into the cell causes depolarization
D) An increase in the movement of chloride ions into the cell causes hyperpolarization

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An increase in the movement of calcium ions into the cell typically causes depolarization, not hyperpolarization, as calcium ions carry a positive charge.
