What does the action potential consist of?
A)Depolarization
B)Repolarization
C)Resting potential
D)Depolarization and repolarization

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The action potential consists of depolarization (when the membrane potential becomes more positive) and repolarization (when the membrane potential returns to its negative resting state). The resting potential (when the membrane potential is relatively stable and negative) is the state before the action potential occurs. Therefore, the correct answer is D - depolarization and repolarization.
