Question

Depolarization is to ____ as hyperpolarization is to ____. Group of answer choices

Answer 1

Depolarization is to excitation, while Hyperpolarization is to inhibition.

Option 4 is correct.

Hyperpolarization is opposite of Depolarization.

Depolarization is a process by which cells undergo a change in membrane potential. It is a process of shift in electric charge that results in less negative charge inside the cell.

Hyperpolarization is when the membrane potential becomes more negative at a particular spot on the neuron’s membrane.
