The net driving force is greatest for which ion when the membrane potential of this cell is -85 mV?
A-Ca2+
B-CL-
C-K+
D-Na+
Answer is option D. Na+
Potassium ions are freely permeable from the inside of the cell to the outside, as a result the inside of the cell becomes more negative, but the net driving force of potassium ions is much much less than the Na+ ions at the resting potential.
The net driving force is greatest for which ion when the membrane potential of this cell...
1. If the membrane potential of sodium ions in a cell is equal to +60 mV, what is its membrane potential for chloride ions if they are found in the exact same concentrations as sodium?

Ion channels that switch open and close as the potential difference across the cell membrane changes are an essential component of the cell membrane. Most such channels contain a molecular ion with a significant electrical charge at their core. Suppose a protein contains a molecular ion with a charge of -12e and that this protein is embedded in a cell membrane that has a thickness of 9 nm. What are the magnitude and direction of electric force on the ion...
For a substance crossing a cell membrane, the chemical driving force Select one: a. depends only on the concentration gradient if the substance is uncharged, but also depends on the electrical force if the substance is an ion. b. is the force that pushes molecules across the membrane, but only if the substance is actively transported. c. depends only on the concentration gradient, regardless of whether or not the substance is an ion d. is the total driving force on...

26. AMPA glutamate channels mainly allow for _______ to come across the membrane; however, the NMDA channels (at rest, -70 mV) are blocked by an ion of __________. a. Na+; K+ b. K+; Li+ c. Na+; Mg2+ d. Na+; Ca2+ 27. Relating back to question #26, if I were to depolarize the cell to, lets say, -50mV, the ion blocking the NMDA channel would be expelled from the pore and _________ along with _________ would be allowed to come into...

Given these parameters, what is the AG for K ion transport into the frog muscle cell in the presence of Ach? Dr. Knowsalot smiles and nods. "Good," she says. "Now let's see whether K+ ions pass through the open Ach receptors into the cell. As you might remember, these channels are permeable to Na+, K+, and Ca2+. For a typical frog muscle cell, the concentration of K+ is roughly 124 mM inside the cell and 2.30 mM outside the cell."...
A cell biologist interested in the transport of calcium ions (Ca2+) across the plasma membrane of bacterial cells made the following measurements on bacterial cells at 25°C: Vm = -150 mV [Ca2+] outside = 20 mM [C a2+] inside = 0.4 mM Constants: R = 1.987 cal/mol degree; T = Temperature in Kelvin (273+ °C) , F=23062 cal/mol volt, z=charge of the molecule, Vm =membrane potential in V. Note: ∆Ginwards = +RTln([in]/[out]) + zFVm 94. What is the free energy...
Assuming normal concentrations of all ions inside and outside of the cell, and that K+ and Cl- channels are blocked but Na+ channels are open, the membrane potential will be ________. A. 70 mV B. -60 mV C. + 60 mV D. +30 mV
The resting membrane potential of a neuronal axon is -70 mV. When an action potential is triggered, Na+ ions move into the axon, which reverses the voltage, bringing it towards 0 mV. Which of the following is the correct term for this sequence of events? a. Repolarization b. Hyperpolarization c. Depolarization d. Hypopolarization e. Isopolarization
