Question

Three ions bearing positive charges found within our cells and interstitial fluid are sodium, calcium, and potassium. Yet, if a cell’s current membrane potential was around -50 mV, and ion channels permeable to each of these three ion types opened up, the direction of net movement would not be the same for all three ions. Calcium and sodium ions would tend to move into the cell, while potassium ions would tend to move out of the cell. Group of answer choices True False
