An action potential in the nerve fiber is produced when positive and negative charges on the outside and the inside of the axon membrane are reversed, because:
- more potassium ions enter the axon as compared to sodium ions leaving it
- more sodium ions enter the axon as compared to potassium ions leaving it
- all potassium ions leave the axon
- all sodium ions enter the axon
Answer
(B) more sodium ions enter the axon as compared to potassium ions leaving it
