- The largest fluid component in the body is the: intracellular fluid extracellular fluid blood plasma cerebrospinal fluidarrow_forwardStatement 1: Downhill transport of large, polar molecules and ions, called facilitated diffusion, must be mediated by carrier proteins and channel proteins because these molecules and ions cannot diffuse through the biological membrane directly. Statement 2: For the transport of ions, the electrochemical potential is considered. A) Statement 1 is true. Statement 2 is false. B Statement 1 is false. Statement 2 is true. Both statements are true. Both statements are false.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements regarding the equilibrium potential (Eion) of an ion is correct? The equilibrium potential for potassium is less negative than the resting membrane potential. The electrical force that acts upon potassium attracts potassium to the interstitium. The chemical force that acts upon sodium drives sodium out of the cell. At an ion’s equilibrium potential, the electrochemical force is zero.arrow_forward
