When the electric potential in a cell is in action versus a resting state, this electrical charge reversal is known as the __________
A) resting potential.
B) excitation reaction.
C) action potential.
D) permeable reaction.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the electric potential in a cell is in action, there is a rapid change in the electric charge across the cell membrane. This change is known as the action potential. Resting potential refers to the electric charge inside a cell when it is not actively transmitting signals. Excitation reaction and permeable reaction are not accurate terms for this process.
