Suppose that a scientist decreased the extracellular concentration of chloride i

Question

Suppose that a scientist decreased the extracellular concentration of chloride ions in the newly discovered organism from 110 mM to 50 mM but did not change the concentration of potassium. Assuming that no changes in membrane permeability occur and no neurotransmitters are added, what effect will this have on the membrane potential? Decreasing extracellular chloride from 110 mM to 50 mM will make the membrane potential more negative. Decreasing extracellular chloride from 110 mM to 50 mM will make the membrane potential less negative. Decreasing extracellular chloride from 110 mM to 50 mM will have no effect on the membrane potential.

Explanation / Answer

Suppose that a scientist decreased the extracellular concentration of chloride i
