Which of the following is NOT true regarding resting membrane potential? The sodium-potassium pump maintains an unequal distribution of sodium and potassium ions on either side of the plasma membrane. For every three sodium ions that are pumped out of the neuron, two potassium ions are pumped into the neuron. Sodium leaks through the membrane more easily than does potassium. The difference in charge between the outside and inside of the neuron is known as the resting membrane potential. Which of the following is true regarding an action potential? It will only occur if the sum of the graded potentials reaches threshold. It results in a small, localized change in the resting potential in a neuron. It is caused by depolarization of the neuron's plasma membrane. During depolarization, potassium ions enter the cell while sodium ions exit the cell.

which-of-the-following-statements-about-resting-potential-is-true-a-resting-membrane-allows-much-more-sodium-than-potassium-to-diffuse-across-the-concentration-of-sodium-is-much-higher-insid-30945

Which of the following statements about resting potential is true? A resting membrane allows much more sodium than potassium to diffuse across. The concentration of sodium is much higher inside the cell than outside. The resting potential exists because of differences in glucose concentration inside and outside the cell. The sodium-potassium pump contributes to the resting membrane potential.

Which of the following statements about the resting membrane potential of a cell is true? A. There is a higher concentration of potassium ions lining the inside of the cell membrane than outside the membrane B. There is a higher concentration of sodium ions within the interstitial fluid than the cytosol C. Potassium ion is attracted to the negative charges inside the cell D. Sodium ion is attracted to the negative charges inside the cell E. An influx of extracellular potassium ions into the cell will cause the membrane potential to become more positive F. All of the above statements are true

7. Which of the following is NOT true regarding the plasma membrane potential of animal cells? Differential concentrations of ions across the membrane are crucial for the resting membrane potential. Plant cells do not require the same transporter as animal cells to generate their resting membrane potential. Non-gated ion channels are important to generate this electric potential. Resting membrane potential is generated by movement of Na+ and K+ out of and into the cell. 8. Which of the following statements about calcium signaling is true? Phosphorylation is integral to the function of the Ca2+ transporter in the sarcoplasmic reticulum. The concentration of Ca2+ in the cytosol is maintained at high levels for use in intracellular signaling. Calmodulin is a calcium-binding protein that specifically regulates the Ca2+ transporter located in the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Calcium ions in most mammalian cells are stored in the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

00:03 To answer this question, let's talk about the cell membrane, okay? it says, which following is not true regarding wasting memory potential? remember that the resting memory potential is the potential at which the potential of the cell membrane when the cell is wasting.
00:20 It means when action potential is not occuring.
00:22 Normally, this is the millivoles of the potential of the membrane, and this is the time.
00:29 This is like about minus 70 millibolts is a wasting membrane potential.
00:34 So you have here the wasting membrane potential.
00:37 Now when you want to start an action potential, there is going to be a stimulus and that stimulus is going to rise the voltage.
00:45 But action potential is not going to cure unless this voltage reaches the threshold potential that is here.
00:52 So let's suppose that it is minus 60 millibolt.
00:56 So if they have the action potential or absolutely the voltage, does not wish this threshold potential, then action potential is not going to cure.
01:05 Okay, if it is not going to cure.
01:07 And what determines this wasting memory potential? well, the wasting memory potential is given by a pump here that is called the sodium, potassium, atpas, and also some potassium leak panels, okay? it means just ion channels that move potassium continuously.
01:28 And this is a type of active transport that moves three sodium ions out of the cell in exchange by two potassium ions inside a cell.
01:38 So let's answer question one.
01:40 It says which of the following is not true regarding resting memory potential? so we're looking for the false one.
01:45 Option a says the sodium potassium pump maintains an equal distribution of sodium and potassium ions on either side of plasma memory.
01:55 And this option, option a is going to be it is true, okay? because, as i told you, this sodium potassium atp pump moves three sodium ions inside of a cell, i'm sorry, outside of the cell in exchange by only two potassium ions inside of a cell.
02:14 So this is unequal, okay? option a is true.
02:18 Option b says for every three sodium ions that are pumped out of the neuron, two potassium ions are pumped into the neuron, and this is true.
02:26 We already said that because of the sodium potassium atp pump.
02:30 Option c says sodium lithium lithium lithium atp pump...
