Separately, draw a table using arrows to depict the appropriate magnitude and direction of the forces and ion fluxes at different membrane potentials for a ligand-gated channel that is equally permeable to both ion X+ and ion Y+. The equilibrium potential for ion X+ is -60 mV, and the equilibrium potential for ion Y+ is -20 mV. At what membrane potential are the ionic fluxes for X+ and Y+ equal but opposite to one another? (that is the membrane potential associated with a steady state for such ligand-gated channels. This is similar to the resting potential for non-gated channels in a neuron membrane, it is sometimes called the Reversal Potential.) a.) -60 mV b.) -40 mV c.) -20 mV d.) -10 mV e.) 0 mV
