Which of the following BEST explains the inside negative potential in restingneurons?sodium flows down its electrochemical gradient through sodium-selective channels thatare open in resting neuronsmembrane transporters produce a large sodium concentration gradient by selectivelyaccumulating sodium ions outside the cellthe membrane of a resting neuron is more permeable to potassium ions than to other ionspresenta larger concentration of chloride ions are found inside the cell making the inside of thecell more negative compared to the outside of the cell

This explanation is accurate because, in resting neurons, the membrane is primarily permeable to…

1. Shown below are figures of the closed and open structures of the voltage gated potassium channel protein in the cell membrane of a neuronal cell. Extracellular CLOSED Extracellular OPEN Cytosol Region A Cytosol Region A Region A of the channel protein functions as a paddle. The paddles move up and down, opening and closing the central pore through which potassium ions flow. The resting membrane potential of a neuronal cell is -70mV. Action potential +40 The action potential graph is shown on the right, at what point in the graph or when would voltage gated potassium channels be closed and when would they be open? Choose from Resting, depolarization, repolarization or refractory period. Describe briefly. a. Threshold -55 Failed initiations Resting state -70 Stimulus 1 Refractory period b. Would potassium ions move in or out of the cell when the voltage gated potassium channels are open? 1 4. Time (ms) What kind/type of amino acids would be present in region A of the voltage gated…

The resting membrane potential is established by? The Na+/K+-ATPase pumping Na+ into the cell and K+ out of the cell The Na+/K+-ATPase pumping K+ into the cell and Na+ out of the cell A larger diffusion of K+ out of the cell compared to diffusion of Na+ into the cell A larger diffusion of K+ into the cell compared to diffusion of Na+ out of the cell a) and d) b) and c)
You attempt to generate an IV plot for GABA channels in cultured neurons. You apply pentobarbital and perform voltage steps but see no current at any voltage. Which of the following would explain your findings? Concentration of pentobarbital is too low GABA is not present in your solutions Cl- concentration is equal on both sides of the membrane None of the above
If the neuron is stimulated such that its membrane potential changes to 50 mV, what is the sign of the driving force for Cl- ions and in which direction will these ions move across the membrane? Positive driving force; Cl- moves into the cell Positive driving force; Cl- moves out of the cell Negative driving force; Cl- moves into the cell Negative driving force; Cl- moves out of the cell
Opening voltage-gated potassium ion channels will allow potassium ions to O enter, repolarization and hyperpolarization exit, depolarization the cell, which will lead to enter, depolarization exit, repolarization and hyperpolarization

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. Which item (a, b, c, or d) best represents the forces and fluxes for a membrane potential of +20 mV? Upwards arrows means outward direction and downwards arrow means inward direction. The length of the arrow determines the magnitude.
How to fill out each section of the table.
Two scientists calculated the membrane potential of a neuron using two different equations, the Nernst equation and the Goldman equation. Their calculations gave them slightly different predictions. What is the most likely reason for this difference? The lipid compositions of the cell membranes that the scientists studied were different. The scientists placed their measuring electrodes in slightly different positions. The temperatures of the fluid surrounding the cell membranes were different. The numbers of ions considered in the calculations were different. The scientists measured different numbers of cells.
How is the cell membrane like a battery? Membrane potential (think of the properties of a battery) Resting membrane potential Na+ and K+ ions -> -70 mV Na+/K+ pump Stored energy for work
If: membrane potential=-70mV, ENa=+60mV, and Ex=-90mV, consider which directions Na+ and K+ will leak across the membrane. If both ions are crossing the membrane, what is the most important factor in determining whether membrane potential will become more positive or more negative?
