Question

2. The following statement is similar to those you might see on exams. Write a paragraph of 3-5 sentences describing 1) whether the state correct or incorrect and 2) the reasoning for your answer. Your answer should demonstrate your understanding of the physiological concepts underlying the statement and be professionally written. Assume a cell with the following properties: [Nalout 120 mM; [Nalin 12 mM (Klou = 5 mM: [K]in 125 mM Membrane is permeable only to Nat and K If the plasma membrane of the cell becomes more permeable to Na", both influx of Na* into the cell and the Na" equlibrium potential will increase.

Explanation / Answer

Yes the statement is correct

When the sodium is out of the vece potassium enters the cell with equal amount so the ionoic equilibrium as well as equilibrium potential maintains.similarly when sodium leaves the cell equal amount of potassium enters the cell so membrane stability and equilibrium will be maintained.

B)Equilibrium potential may rise slightly
