A) G-protein activation and K+ channel opening would happen more quickly.Heart rate may remain abnormally low,impairing response to stress.
B) This would lead to K+ flow out of heart cells,causing increased hyperpolarization.
C) G-protein activation and K+ channel opening would be slowed.Heart rate may remain abnormally high,especially following stress.
D) This would lead to K+ flow into heart cells,causing increased depolarization.
