Hyperpolarization means that the ________.
A) membrane potential becomes more negative than the resting potential
B) membrane potential becomes more positive than the resting potential
C) potassium gates open
D) sodium gates open
Hyperpolarization
A change in a cell's membrane potential that makes it more negative, moving it further from the threshold for electrical activity.
Membrane Potential
The difference in electric potential between the inside and outside of a cell's plasma membrane, crucial for the transmission of nerve impulses.
Potassium Gates
Channels in the cell membrane that allow potassium ions to move in and out, influencing cellular activity and electrical charge.
