Explanation / Answer

Hi,

The answer: tell us if passive or energized transport is employed

The Nernst equation basically describes the potential of ion in and out of the cell. The transport of these ions can be active or passive depending on its potential difference. The nersnt potential and measured potential are same then the transport is passive, if not it is active.
