The binding of acetylcholine results in a(n) _______ in the motor end plate membrane. A) graded potential B) equilibrium potential for K⁺ C) hyperpolarization D) action potential E) influx of acetylcholinesterase

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The binding of acetylcholine to the motor end plate results in the opening of ion channels, which leads to a graded potential. This graded potential can then trigger an action potential in the muscle fiber. Therefore, choice A is the best answer. Choices B, C, D, and E are all incorrect because they do not accurately describe the physiological response to the binding of acetylcholine in the motor end plate.
