Question

A graded potential always leads to an action potential
a. True
b. False

Answer 1

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

Graded potential may be defined as the potential generated for short distance communication in the body. The action potential is used for long distance communication in the body.

The graded potential does not leads to the generation of an action potential. The graded potential decreases before reaching the end of axon in the case where action potential is not generated.

Thus, the correct answer is option (b).
