- Suppose a biological membrane with a specific capacitance of 1 μF/cm^2 has a resting surface charge density of 0.1 μC/cm^2. Also suppose there are 50 sodium channels per μm^2 and thatwhen each opens for 1 ms, 1000 Na+ ions flow through the channel, resulting in a reduction of the potential difference (the membrane voltage). Compare this membrane’s resting potentialvoltage to the membrane voltage 1 ms after 10% of these channels open, assuming no other changes occur during this time.arrow_forwardIn Example 23.14 we estimated the capacitance of the cell membrane to be 89 pF, and in Example 23.15 we found that approximately 10,000 Na+ ions flow through an ion channel when it opens. Based on this information and what you learned about the action potential, estimate the total number of sodium channels in the membrane of a nerve cell.arrow_forward(II) A neuron is stimulated with an electric pulse.
