12. Let us consider another artificial case. Now only sodium channels open. Potassium channels are closed. Indicate sodium ion distribution across the cell membrane. Why sodium concentration inside the cell does not get equal to the sodium concentration outside the cell over time? Explain the mechanism on the microscopic level. Explain the mechanism on the macroseopic level using voltage across the cell membrane.
