Question

If potential is below threshold an action potential will occur.*
A. True
B. False"

Answer 1

An action potential occurs when the potential is above the threshold, not below.

Step-by-step explanation:

An action potential occurs when the potential is above the threshold, not below. The threshold potential is the minimum depolarization required to trigger an action potential in a postsynaptic neuron. If the membrane potential does not reach the threshold, an action potential will not occur. Therefore, the statement is False.
