Based on the ion concentrations provided in the table below, which of the following would result in an EPSP? Select all that apply.

Ion Intracellular fluid Extracellular fluid
[Na+] 15mM 140mM
[K+] 130mM 4mM
[Cl-] 5mM 120mM
[Ca2+] <0.001mM 1.2mM

A) Sodium channels open

B) Potassium channels open

C) Chloride channels open

D) Calcium channels open

Solutions

Expert Solution

a) Sodium channels open

d) calcium channels open

Explanation: Opening of sodium channels result in influx of positive charge Na+ ion from their higher extracellular concentration into the lower intracllular concentration leading to decrease in negative potential of the membrane. (EPSP).

Opening of chloride channels result in influx of negative charge Cl- ion from their higher extracellular concentration into the lower intracellular concentration leading to increase in the negative potential of the membrane. (IPSP)

Opening of calcium channels result in influx of positive charge Ca++ ion from their higher extracellular concentration into the lower intracllular concentration leading to decrease in negative potential of the membrane. (EPSP).

Opening of potassium channels result in efflux of positive charge K+ ion from their higher intracellular concentration into the lower extracllular concentration leading to increase in negative potential of the membrane.(IPSP)

1. The following table lists the ion composition of water. What are the mg/L concentrations of each? Does this water have charge balance? If no, then some ion is missing. Would it be a cation or an anion? From these values compute the TDS in mg/L and the hardness in mg/L as CaCO3. Are these values low, normal, or high? Is any other ion out of the desired range?

Which of the following would be the result of increasing the temperature at which GC is run? I knew this would cause a faster elution time because temperature increases kinetic energy but I am not sure how this results in poorer seperation. Can you explain what it means by "seperation" . I watched videos on the Gas Chromatography but I am not clear on how things are seperated----i thought that the more volatile will adhere less to the liquid stationary...
