Question

2. With respect to the membrane potential which of the following is NOT true?
A. The resting membrane potential of the cell can be accurately calculated using the Goldman
equation
B. A membrane potential depends on the separation of positive and negative ions and is
measure in units of work called Volts (or millivolts)
C. An ion gradient contributes to the membrane potential in proportion to its membrane
permeability
D. When there is a voltage across the membrane, the amount of ions that will line up on
both sides of the membrane depends on the capacitance of the membrane
E. None

Explanation / Answer

D. When there is a voltage across the membrane, the amount of ions that will line up on both sides of the membrane depends on the capacitance of the membrane
