Resting Membrane Potential is the difference across plasma membranes expressed in millivolts
Answer
True
False
Question 2
Question
Resting Membrane Potential is determined by..
Answer
Permeability to Na+ and K+
Permeability to Na+ and Ca+
Permeability to K+ and Ca+
Question 3
Question
When k+ concentration inside the cell is high, the electrical gradient will force K+ into the cell because the electrical gradient is stronger than the chemical gradient.
Answer
True
False
Question 4
Question
When Na+ concentration inside the cell is low, the cell will
Answer
Move Na+ into the cell because of the chemical gradient
Move Na+ out of the cell because of the electrical gradient
Move Na+ into the cell because of the electrical gradient
Move Na+ out of the cell to reach an equilibrium
Question 5
Question
Resting membrane potential is -70mV
Answer
True
False
Question 6
Question
An Action Potential occurs when a threshold point of -40mV is reached
Answer
True
False
Question 7
Question
When an action potential begins, [blank_start]depolarisation[blank_end] occurs, causing [blank_start]Na+[blank_end] voltage gates to open and allow Na+ to flow [blank_start]into[blank_end] the cell.
Answer
depolarisation
Repolarisation
Na+
K+
into
out
Question 8
Question
During the repolarisation phase of an action potential..
Answer
Na+ voltage gates close at -30mV (ICF)
Na+ voltage gates open
K+ gates opening, allowing K+ to flow out the cell
K+ gates close at -90mV (ICF)
K+ gates open at -90mV(ICF)
