Q2 Flashcards
The resting membrane potential of a cell is -70 mV. What will happen to the Vm, if X+1 channels open, and X+1 moves across the plasma membrane down its electrochemical gradient ([X+1]ECF = 1 mM; [X+1]ICF = 25 mM).
hyperpolarize
The resting membrane potential of a cell is -70mV. What will happen to the Vm, if Z- channels open, and Z- moves across the membrane down its electrochemical gradient ([Z-]ECF = 3 mM; [Z-]ICF = 1 mM)?
depolarize

Hyperosmotic
Compared to the cytosol of the cell, what is the tonicity of the bathing solution?
