Question

1. Draw the equivalent circuit of a lipid bilayer. With the externally applied voltage (V), what is the current (I) through the lipid bilayer? Write down the equation. If the applied voltage is a triangular wave (V~t relationship), what will be the corresponding current waveform like (I~t relationship)? You don't have to draw the I-t waveform; just describe the I-t wave, i.e. whether it is triangular, square or sine wave. (4p) V Triangle Time (t)

Step 1

A lipid bilayer can be represented as a capacitor in parallel with a resistor. The capacitor represents the lipid bilayer's capacitance, while the resistor represents the ion channels and other conductive pathways across the bilayer. The circuit diagram would Show more…
