Questions and Answers

What is the main function of the unequal distribution of ions on both sides of the cell membrane?

  • Creating the electrical property of the cell membrane (resting membrane potential, RMP) (correct)
  • Regulating the osmotic pressure within the cell
  • Aiding in the synthesis of ATP within the cell
  • Facilitating the movement of water across the cell membrane

    • Which ion is present in a small amount in the extracellular fluid (ECF)?

  • K+
  • Proteins
  • Phosphate
  • Na+ (correct)

    • In which type of tissues can the electrical properties of the cell membrane change and respond to a stimulus by producing action potential?

  • Adipose tissues
  • Epithelial tissues
  • Connective tissues
  • Nerve and muscle excitable tissues (correct)
