Protein deficiency can cause muscle cramping, weakness, and soreness. If you aren't consuming enough protein, your body will start to take protein from your skeletal muscles, which will lead to your muscles wasting over time.

Answer:

If a person doesn't get the proper amount of protein in his or her diet, the body would break down existing muscle to get the amino acids it needs.

You cannot just create protein and the amino acids out of nowhere, they are formed when you eat foods filled with protein. The consequences could be dire, as the body would be weakened to an extreme which is why the intake of protein is extremely important.

Following repolarization, the neuron may become slightly hyperpolarized before it re-establishes its resting membrane potential.

<h2>Membrane potential </h2>

Explanation:

Membrane potential represents charge difference across the membrane, all biological cells are negative inside (cytoplasm) and positive outside (due to difference in ionic distribution)
In a typical neuron cell membrane potential of cytoplasm is negative at rest (when no stimulus is applied) hence called resting membrane potential
Resting membrane potential of excitable cells is established by Na+ and K+pump
Repolarization starts with the efflux of K+ by the opening of voltage gated K+ channels
Voltage gated K+ channels starts to open when voltage gated Na+ channels becomes inactive
Hyperpolarization occurs due to excessive efflux of K+ by voltage gated K+ channels
Additional efflux of K+ occurs due to slow inactivation of voltage gated K+ channels
