51) The membrane potential for the cell pictured above suddenly changes to -70 mV. Thispotential could be generated when,a)Vm = EClb)PNa> PKc)PK>> PCld)Vm = EXe)PCl>> PK
52) An experiment is performed where the above cell is treated with a drug. A voltageclamp of the cell showed that the conductance for C1 and K+, in the presence of thedrug, was the same (10 x 106 Siemans). The value of the new membrane potentialproduced was:
53) The treatment of a cell membrane with a neurotransmitter results in a rapidconductance change and a depolarization. The channel involved in this process ismost likely a54) Select the FALSE statement about the Na/K pump.
55)Which ionic channel would produce the greatest amount of membrane depolarizationwhen it is opened by a neurotransmitter?a)A channel specifically permeable to Ca2.b)A channel equally permeable to K and Na.c)A channel specifically permeable to K.d)A channel equally permeable to K, Nat, and Ca2.e)A channel specifically permeable to Na.
56)The relationship between membrane potential and the log of the externalconcentration of K ion was plotted for an unknown cell. When the slope of this curvewas found, it had a value of about 50. This most likely means that
