Franklin is listening to music with the volume fairly low; Cecilia is listening to music with the volume turned to the maximum.Based on what is known about action potentials, you could predict that for these two individuals, the action potentials:
A)will be the same due to the all-or-none principal
B)in Cecilia's nervous system will travel more quickly because the incoming signal is more intense
C)in Franklin's nervous system will be weaker because the incoming signal is less intense
D)in Franklin's nervous system will travel a shorter distance because the incoming signal is less intense

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Action potentials operate on an all-or-none principle, meaning that once a neuron fires, the action potential is always the same size and speed regardless of the intensity of the stimulus. Therefore, the difference in volume between Franklin and Cecilia's music would not affect the size or speed of the action potentials in their nervous systems.
