If the equilibrium potential for K+ is -90mV, and the charge inside the cell is -70mV, which direction will K+ move across the membrane assuming there is permeability (membrane leak channels) which allow it to pass? O It won't move because it is in electrochemical equilibrium. O It will leak out of the cell because the environment inside the cell does not have enough negative charge to hold it in. O It will leak into the cell because it is attracted to the negatively charged environment.
