1.) If the resting membrane potential for a cell is stated as being -65 mV, this means: (choose all that apply)
Group of answer choices
- there is a 65 mV potential difference across the plasma membrane
- the intracellular side of the plasma membrane has a negative charge
- the EK is balanced by a +25 mV ENa
- the extracellular side of the plasma membrane has an excess of positive charge
- the membrane has an outward flux of chloride ion (Cl-) of 25mV
2.) Which of the following statements is(are) not true for the extracellular matrix? (choose all that apply)
Group of answer choices
- if a functional entity and is involved in physically joining the extracelluar and intracellular compartments
- is comprised of living material
- provides a platform for cell growth
- is the site where interstitial fluid is located
- is only found in connective tissues
3.) The magnitude of the (blank, two words) is the driving force for diffusion, yet a molecule will not diffuse across if the plasma membrane is not (blank) to that molecule
4.) If the intracellular chloride ion concentration of a cell is 9 mM and has an extracellular concentration of 125 mM, then the equilibrium potential for chloride ion is ___ mV. (round to the nearest 10th decimal place)
5.) A ___ ___ is observed due to the unequal transport of charge by a transport mechanism that occurs across a plasma membrane.
