Why is potential energy is sometimes called stored energy?
cause
Does a pile of coal have potential energy?
i think it does cause coal is made out of rocks that get burned so it does have potential energy
What energy that is not causing any changes now but can cause changes in the future?
potential energy
The energy of shape or position?
This is called "potential" energy. For instance, a rock standing at the edge of a cliff has the potential to fall and cause physical changes. However, it has not yet fallen, so the energy is considered "potential". An unreleased, stretched elastic holds the same type of energy, as does an undetonated explosive and a tank of compressed air.
What kind of energy is shaking a rattle?
Kinetic. It's not potential, 'cause it is being used by shaking. If you were about to shake it, the energy stored in your hand would be potential.
What form of energy is needed to cause substances to change form one solid to a liquid and a liquid to a gas?
thermal energy is needed to do that job. as opposed to mechanical potential or chemical energies.
Can subthreshold stimulation cause an action potential?
no
What cause an object to have potential energy?
Potential energy is stored energy capable of doing work. Since energy is general comes from the food we eat, so does potential energy.
What object is energy stored in to cause change?
potential energy
Why is potential energy is sometimes called stored energy?
cause
What is the relationship between the action potential and the synapse?
A synapse and an action potential have a flip-flopping cause and effect relationship, in that an action potential in a presynaptic neuron initiates a release of neurotransmitters across a synapse, which can then subsequently potentially trigger an action potential in the axon of the postsynaptic neuron, which would then cause release of neurotransmitters across a following synapse.

What energy that is not causing any changes now but can cause changes in the future?
potential energy
Does strong stimuli cause the strength of action potentials to increase?
No, it doesn't become "larger" - the peak potential is always the same - it is a digital signal. Stronger stimulus will cause the nerve cell to fire more often - therefore stimulus strength is translated as action potential frequency.
What is needed to do work or cause change?
Energy
What is needed to work or cause change?
Energy
Potassium channels open late in the action potential to cause membrane?
...repolarization
