4. You are doing an experiment and have an intracellular recording electrode stuck into a livercell. The resting membrane potential is -70 mV relative to the bath outside of the cell. Youreplace the extracellular fluid bathing the cell with a physiological saline that has the sameosmolarity but which has the potassium replaced by an inert cation that cannot cross the cellmembrane. On a graph, draw what will happen to the resting membrane potential of the cellover time.Does the membrane potential increase or decrease?51°F CloudyDELL

Suppose that initially there are 100 Nat and 25 K+ ions inside the cell, near the sodium-potassium pump. After how many cycles is the number of Na ions the same as the number of Kions inside the cell?
