  • Options
  • A. They can form on receptor endings
  • B. They increase amplitude as they move away from the stimulus point
  • C. They are short-lived
  • D. They can be called postsynaptic potentials

  • Correct Answer
  • They increase amplitude as they move away from the stimulus point 

    Explanation

    Graded potentials are changes in membrane potential that vary in size, as opposed to being all-or-none.

     

    In the given options, They increase amplitude as they move away from the stimulus point is not true about the graded potentials.
