A neuron is poisoned with a chemical, which is an inhibitor of
the Na+-K+ ATPase. Explain what would happen
to the resting membrane potential (RMP) of the cell (will it
depolarize, hyperpolarize or remain the same). In your answer,
a.)identify the three
factors that determine RMP in a neuron,
b.) identify whether each factor causes membrane potential to be
more or less negative, and
c.) explain whether or not the chemical would affect each
factor.
