Question

Immediately after an action potential has peaked, which of the following channels will open?

A) Voltage gated potassium channels.
B) Chemically gated chloride channels
C) Voltage gated sodium channels
D) Voltage gated calcium channels

please give a brief explanation for each correct or incorrect

Answer 1

Immediately after an action potential has peaked, voltage gated potassium channels open to repolarize the membrane and restore the resting potential.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is A) Voltage gated potassium channels. Immediately after an action potential has peaked, voltage gated potassium channels open. These channels allow potassium ions to flow out of the cell, which repolarizes the membrane and restores the resting potential. This is an important step in the termination of the action potential.

Answer 2

C) voltage gated sodium channels

have a great day!
