Questions and Answers

What happens to the membrane potential when the net current of Na+ ions inflowing and K+ ions outflowing have the same magnitude?

  • The membrane potential becomes more negative
  • The membrane potential remains unchanged (correct)
  • The membrane potential becomes more positive
  • The membrane potential becomes unstable
  • If there is a net outflow of K+ ions, what effect does it have on the membrane potential?

  • Stabilizes the membrane potential
  • Makes the membrane potential more positive
  • Makes the membrane potential more negative (correct)
  • Has no effect on the membrane potential
  • What is the effect of a net inflow of Na+ ions on the membrane potential?

  • Makes the membrane potential more negative
  • Stabilizes the membrane potential
  • Makes the membrane potential more positive (correct)
  • Causes membrane depolarization
