Question

question 2 (2.5 points) when a neuron depolarizes, the composition of the inside of the cell becomes less like that of the extracellular fluid. true false

Explanation:

When a neuron depolarizes, sodium ions (Na+) rush into the cell, making the inside of the cell more positive (less negative) compared to the resting state, but it doesn't become like the extracellular fluid composition. The extracellular fluid has a high - concentration of sodium and low - concentration of potassium, while the intracellular fluid has a high - concentration of potassium and low - concentration of sodium even after depolarization.

Answer:

False
