Question

Transcribed Image Text:### Question 3
The balance between K<sup>+</sup> ions and Na<sup>+</sup> ions inside and outside the cell affects the resting membrane potential. If the K<sup>+</sup> ion concentration outside the cell drops drastically, which one of these events will occur?
- ○ facilitation
- ○ hyperpolarization
- ○ threshold
- ● a and c
**Explanation:**
- **facilitation:** This option is selected as part of the correct answer.
- **hyperpolarization:** This option is not selected.
- **threshold:** This option is selected as part of the correct answer.
In the given multiple-choice question, the correct answer is indicated as "a and c." This suggests that both "facilitation" and "threshold" are events that will occur if the K<sup>+</sup> ion concentration outside the cell drops drastically.
