Question

A particular electrical signal being transmitted to a neuron is sufficient to generate an action potential. If the magnitude of the incoming electrical signal is doubled, the action potential will ________.a. be twice as strongb. last twice as longc. undergo no changes in strength, speed, or durationd. travel twice as fast down the axon

Answer 1

The action potential will C. undergo no changes in strength, speed, or duration.

Step-by-step explanation:

The action potential is when the neuron sends the information via the axon to further transmit information. It is triggered by an electrical signal within the neuron but it will have no changes whatsoever in strength, speed or duration if the electrical signal's magnitude is doubled; it will remain the same.
