1.
A resting muscle fiber or neuron has an internal charge that is A. positive, B. negative, or C. neutral compared to the extracellular environment. This resting membrane charge is maintained by the A. calcium ion channels, B. sodium voltage gates, C. potassium voltage gates, or D. sodium/potassium pumps? .
When a muscle fiber is at resting membrane potential there is a(an) "higher", "equal", OR "lower" concentration of sodium inside the cell compared to outside the cell and a(an) "higher", "lower", OR "equal" concentration of potassium inside the cell compared to outside.
WHAT IF? Suppose a mutation caused gated sodiumchannels to remain inactivated longer after an actionpotential. How would this affect the frequency at whichaction potentials could be generated? Explain.
MAKE CONNECTIONS Explain why the set of forces driving ionmovement across the plasma membrane of a cell is described as anelectrochemical (electrical and chemical) gradient (see Concept 7.4).
