Graded potentials decreased in size as they spread;the term for this is:
A)Non-decremental
B)All or none
C)Decremental
D)Graded polarization

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Graded potentials are called "graded" because they vary in size or amplitude based on the strength of the stimulus received. However, as they spread along the cell membrane, their size diminishes due to leakage of ions across the membrane, making them decremental in nature. Therefore, the correct answer is C (Decremental).
