Equilibrium Potentials For Na,K\mathrm { Na } , \mathrm { K }

Question 14

Short Answer

Equilibrium potentials for Na,K\mathrm { Na } , \mathrm { K } , and Cl\mathrm { Cl } are shown. Assume that a cell is permeable to all three ions and has a resting membrane potential of 85- 85 millivolts. Which of the following best describes the net movement of the various ions across the cell membrane by way of passive diffusion?
 Equilibrium potentials for  \mathrm { Na } , \mathrm { K } , and  \mathrm { Cl }  are shown. Assume that a cell is permeable to all three ions and has a resting membrane potential of  - 85  millivolts. Which of the following best describes the net movement of the various ions across the cell membrane by way of passive diffusion?     \begin{array}{lcl} \underline{\text { Sodium }} &\underline{ \text { Potassium }} &\underline{ \text { Chloride }} \\  \text { a. Inward } & \text { Inward } &{\text { Inward }} \\ \text { b. Inward } & \text { Inward } & \text { Outward } \\ \text { c. Inward } & \text { Outward } & \text { Inward } \\ \text { d.
