    Please answer question According to the plot of an action potential, select the answer that is false. Membrane Potential (mv) The voltage gated sodium channel is inactivated at time point 3. The membrane is repolarizing at time point 3. Voltage gated potassium channels are open at time point 4. The membrane cannot undergo another action potential at time point 4. The voltage gated sodium channels are closed at time point 2.

    During the propagation of an action potential, what would be the effect of a mutation in the voltage-gated Na+-channels that does not allow “inactivation” phase to occur, such that these channels go directly from open to closed conformations? a) The neuron with the mutant Na+ channels will start letting in calcium ions and generate a calcium-based action potential that is stronger than the sodium-based action potential. b) The neuron with the mutant Na+ channel will exhibit a reverse electrochemical gradient...
