What is the equivalent to know CL minus crossing the plasma membrane
Added by David B.
Step 1
The question mentions "CL" and "crossing the plasma membrane." CL typically refers to "chloride ions" in biological contexts. Crossing the plasma membrane refers to the movement of ions or molecules across the cell membrane. Show more…

you know that the outside of the plasma membrane is more positive than the inside. describe how this charge differential is formed by the Na+/K+ pump.
Madhur L.
The uneven distribution of ions across the plasma membrane is regulated, in part, by transport proteins. The result is a net negative charge on the inside of the plasma membrane and a net positive charge on the outside of the plasma membrane. How do you explain the net negative charge inside the plasma membrane when the predominant intracellular ion is K+?

We have learned that Na+ currents are inward (and negative) and K+ currents are outward (and positive) currents. Inward means positive ions moving into the cell. What would you call a chloride (Cl-) current and what sign would it have if the Cl- equilibrium ECl = -40mV and the membrane potential Vm = -70mV.
