Examine figure 2.9. In the text Predict how 2.9B might look if potassium was replaced by another positively charged ion that cannot cross the neuronal membrane?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When potassium is replaced by another positively charged ion that cannot cross the neuronal membrane, no positive current would be observed because the specific ion channels that allow potassium ions to move across the membrane would not permit the movement of the substituted ion, thus preventing the generation of a positive current associated with potassium efflux.
