  1. If the concentration of chloride is 10mM outside a neuron and 100mM inside the neuron, at what voltage will there be no net movement of chloride through open chloride channels?

123 mV

-32 mV

61.5 mV

-61.5 mV


Solutions

Expert Solution

Equilibrium potential is a membrane potential at which there is no net movement of ion through a channel.

  • We can calculate it by Nernst equation.
  • All other options are wrong because they are incorrect values.

Animal cells generally have a higher concentration of Na+ outside of the cell than inside the cell and a membrane potential around -70 mV. When an Na+ moves into an animal cell, how does that movement impact the membrane potential? How does that movement impact the Na+ concentration gradient? Explain what an equilibrium potential for an ion is, what the resting membrane potential is, and how they are different.
