Question

A. The potassium molecules will move into the extracellular space until the electrochemical gradient is too strong and causes the membrane to become permeable to chloride

B. The potassium molecules will continue to go into the extracellular space until the electrical gradient becoems equal and opposite of the chemical gradient

C. There will be no movement across the membrane because the electrical gradient is neutral on both sides

D. The chloride molecules will build in the extracellular space causing a negative charge in the extracellular space that must be matched with a positive charge in the intraceullular space

What will happen if the following membrane is only permeable to potassium? Cl Cl Cl Cl Cl Cl Cl conc.KCl (ntracelular) 1 (extracelluar) dil.KC

Explanation / Answer

answer->b

i.e the potassium molecule will continue to go into the extracellular space until the electrical gradient becomes equal and opposite to chemical gradient.
