Question

What drives K+ ions through voltage gated channels while funny channels are also open?
O pifference in K+ concentration across the PM
O pressure potential
O Both difference in K+ concentration across the PM and Membrane potential (difference in charge across
the membrane)
O Osmotic potential
O Membrane potential (difference in charge across the membrane)

Expert Solution

Step 1

Resting membrane potential is the normal potential of the membrane it is negative inside and positive outside. When an action potential arrives this potential changes and first the membrane depolarization occurs and then repolarization occurs due to the opening of various voltage gated Ion channels.
