Questions and Answers

What is the resting membrane potential?

  • The generation of rapidly changing electrochemical impulses at the cell membrane
  • The electrical potential difference across the plasma membrane of a cell when not stimulated (correct)
  • The process of transmitting signals along the nerve or muscle membranes
  • The movement of ions across the cell membrane during cellular activity
  • What creates an electro-chemical gradient across the cell membrane?

  • Na-K ATPase pump pumping 3Na out in exchange of 2K in (correct)
  • The movement of ions through ion channels
  • The process of transmitting signals along the nerve or muscle membranes
  • The generation of rapidly changing electrochemical impulses at the membrane
