Select all of the following that are true about a neuron’s function.

1.An action potential occurs if the membrane potential exceeds the threshold potential.

2.A neuron expends no energy while it maintains a resting potential.

3.When the neuron receives a stimulus, sodium ions begin to rush out of the axon.

4.When threshold potential is reached, sodium channels all along the axon open up at once.

5.An axon maintains a positive charge during rest.

6.During the peak of an action potential, more sodium ions are found inside the axon than when it is at resting potential.

7.During an action potential in one section of an axon, sodium channels first open, then delayed potassium channels open and sodium channels close.

Expert Solution

1.An action potential occurs if the membrane potential exceeds the threshold potential (TRUE).

2.A neuron expends no energy while it maintains a resting potential (TRUE).

3.When the neuron receives a stimulus, sodium ions begin to rush out of the axon (FALSE).

Following an above threshold stimulus, sodium gated channel proteins open and sodium ions rush from the outside of the axomembrane to the inside.

4.When threshold potential is reached, sodium channels all along the axon open up at once (FALSE).

The sodium ion channels open like a wave traveling from cell body towards the axonal terminal

5.An axon maintains a positive charge during rest (FALSE).

Membrane potential is negative (–70 mV)

6.During the peak of an action potential, more sodium ions are found inside the axon than when it is at resting potential (TRUE).

Since more Na+ ions flow into the axon at this time the membrane potential willl be more positive

7.During an action potential in one section of an axon, sodium channels first open, then delayed potassium channels open and sodium channels close (TRUE).

Which of the following are TRUE? Select all that apply. A probability of 1 is the same as a probability of 100% The difference between interval and ordinal data is that interval data has a natural zero. If you are doing a study and the population is Americans, the easiest type of study to run would be a simple random sample. If your population is 80% female and your sample is 60% male, there is undercoverage bias. In order to...

Answer the following multi-step problem on Gravity a) Select ALL true statements regarding the gravitational potential energy expression U = - G m1 m2/r. [1.The gravitational potential energy is a scalar., 2.One choose U = 0 at r = infinity since only the ΔU matters in physics and ΔU does not depend on where one chooses U = 0. 3.The gravitational potential energy increases as objects approach each other since the potential energy is zero at infinite separation., 4.This expression...
