- Assume that a membrane permeable to Na+ but not to Cl- separates two solutions. The concentration of sodium chloride on side 1 is higher than on side 2. Which of the following ionic movements would occur? a. Na+ would move until its concentration gradient is dissipated (until the concentration of Na+ on side 2 is the same as the concentration of Na+ on side 1). b. Cl- would move down its concentration gradient from side 1 to side 2. c. A membrane potential, negative on side 1, would develop. d. A membrane potential, positive on side 1, would develop. e. None of the preceding is correct.arrow_forwardThe tight binding sites required for ion selectivity should slow the progress of ions through a channel, yet ion channels achieve rapid rates of ion transport. How is this paradox resolved?arrow_forwardIf an ion has the same concentration on both sides of the membrane, then Eion Will be:arrow_forward
- What is the Direction of net flux Through Protein Channel?arrow_forwardHow do neutral solutes move across the plasma membrane? Can the polarmolecules also move across it in the same way? If not, then how are thesetransported across the membrane?arrow_forwardExplain how channels are able to rapidly move ions across membranes, and how they achieve ion selectivity.arrow_forward
- Explain Diffusion of Ions Through Ion Channels?arrow_forwardFor most neurons, the extracellular concentration of chloride ions (Cl-) is 108 mM, whilethe intracellular concentration of Cl- is 5 mM.If the plasma membrane becomes more permeable to Cl-, would there be Clinflux or Cl- efflux at an RMP of -70 mV? Why?arrow_forwardIn some circumstances, as during a nerve impulse, sodium ions must enter the cell. How are they able to do so?arrow_forward
