Step 1
The resting membrane potential is the difference in voltage between the inside and outside of a cell's membrane when it is at rest. For most cells, this is typically around -70mV, with the inside of the cell being more negative than the outside. Show more…

Match the terms to changes presented, assuming a resting membrane potential of -70 mV. Answers may be used once, more than once, or not at all. A. electrical polarization B. hyperpolarization C. depolarization D. repolarization E. more than one of the answers 25) to -50 mV from resting potential 26) to -70 mV from -50 mV 27) to -90 mV from resting potential 28) to +30 mV from resting potential 29) to -70 mV from -90 mV 30) any value other than -70 mV, regardless of relationship to resting potential
In a typical cell, the concentrations of K+ in the ECF and ICF are 5 mM and 150 mM, respectively, and the typical resting membrane potential is -70 mV. If the concentration of K+ in the ECF was increased from 5 mM to 7 mM, which of the following would occur? (Select all that apply; wrong answers earn negative points) [ K+ ] = 7 mM [ K+ ] = 150 mM 0 mV -70 mV Extracellular fluid Intracellular fluid The membrane would depolarize The membrane would hyperpolarize The membrane potential would become more negative The membrane potential would become less negative The membrane potential would not change
