Two stimuli occur on the same neuron more than a minute apart. The second stimulus is more than ten times greater than the first. If we compare the two resulting action potentials, which is TRUE? Multiple Choice The second stimulus will lead to an action potential with higher amplitude. The second stimulus will lead to an action potential with a longer duration. The second stimulus will lead to an action potential with a longer hyperpolarization at the end. The amplitude of the two action potentials will be the same. The amplitude and duration of the second action potential will be greater than the first.
