Question

22) Which way will sodium want to flow in a typical cell if the membrane potential is -70 mV and what would happen to the membrane potential as a result? What if the membrane potential is +70 mV? (3 points)

MATCHING OPTIONS:

into the cell, depolarize

into the cell, hyperpolarize

out of the cell, depolarize

out of the cell, hyperpolarize

no net flow, no change in membrane potential

            a) Membrane potential at -70 mV: ____________               

            b) Membrane potential at +70 mV: ____________  

Explanation / Answer

A) into the cell and depolarization

B)since equilibrium potential of sodium is +60 mV,so,according to me it should be no net flow .
