Question

when depolarization occurs, the resting membrane potential becomes ____ negative and ____ 0mv.
o more; further from
o less; closer to
o less; further from
o more; closer to

Explanation:

Depolarization is a process in which the membrane potential becomes less negative. This occurs due to the influx of positively - charged ions (such as sodium ions) into the cell. As the membrane potential becomes less negative, it moves closer to \(0\) mV. For example, if the resting membrane potential is \(-70\) mV, during depolarization, it might change to \(-50\) mV (less negative) and is closer to \(0\) mV.

Answer:

less; closer to
