All of the following describe conditions that facilitate an action potential except:
A) a resting potential precedes an action potential.
B) sodium channels open.
C) sodium-potassium pump activity decreases.
D) the local potential becomes depolarized.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sodium-potassium pump activity actually helps to restore the resting potential and prepare for another action potential. Therefore, decreasing sodium-potassium pump activity would hinder the ability to generate an action potential.
