View this animation (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/dynamic1) to learn more about this process. What is the difference between the driving force for Na+ and K+? And what is similar about the movement of these two ions?arrow_forwardChoose the correct answer: A) When the voltage gated K+ channels open K+ moves down its concentration gradient from the ECF to inside the cell. O B) The value for resting membrane potential is closer to the EK+ (Equilibrium potential for K+) than the ENa+ O C) When the membrane potential is at rest the membrane is more permeable to Na+ than it is to K+ O D) Closing of the voltage-gated Na+ channels increases the permeability of the membrane to Na+arrow_forward
