Electrical Activity in Nerves - A NERVE CELL MEMBRANE HAS A SPECIFIC CHARGE – THE RESTING MEMBRANE POTENTIAL - Hyperpolarizarion

Question 1

Hyperpolarizations can stop _ _ _ _ from being made.

Answer 1

action potentials

Question 2

A hyperpolarization can _ _ out a depolarization that occurs at the same time. This prevents an action potential from being made.

Answer 2

cancel

Question 3

A hyperpolarization can cancel out a depolarization because it is a _ _ charge while a depolarization is a _ _ charge.

Answer 3

negative

positive

Question 4

This is
similar to adding _ _ to _ _—the result is zero.

Answer 4

-1

+1
