Answer:

Depolarization

Step-by-step explanation:

Depolarization is a change in cell's membrane potential such that the inside of the membrane is made less negative relative to the outside by moving the voltage in the direction of zero Voltage.

Action potentials occur whenever a depolarization increases the membrane voltage to a threshold, which usually has a membrane potential value of -55mV.
