Which statement is true? The intensity of a stimulus is encoded by the adaptation of the action potentials. The intensity of a stimulus is encoded by the amplitude of the action potentials. The intensity of a stimulus is encoded by the duration of the action potentials. The intensity of a stimulus is encoded by the frequency of the action potentials.

Which of the following best describes the behavior of a gated channel? It stays open continuously when stimulated. It opens more frequently in response to a given stimulus. It opens more widely as the stimulus becomes stronger. It requires a stimulus to change from closed to open
1. This question asks you about a typical neuron and NOT photoreceptors. As stimulus intensity is increased, recording from a single neuron USUALLY shows the amplitude of the action potential increases. the amplitude of the action potential decreases. the amplitude of the action potential may increase or decrease, depending on the stimulus. the rate of firing of the nerve fiber increases. 2. An inhibitory transmitter _______ the firing rate of a neuron and an excitatory transmitter ________ the firing rate. increases; decreases increases; increases decreases; decreases decreases; increases
