  • The balance between the chemical and electrical forces pushing potassium through potassium channels and across the membrane is represented by the potassium equilibrium potential.
  • At the equilibrium potential of potassium, which is -80mV, there is no net movement of potassium ions.

<h3>At potassium's equilibrium potential, what happens?</h3>
  • At equilibrium, the electrical potential gradient across the membrane precisely balances the gradient of K+ concentration.
  • There is no net migration of K+ from one side to the other, despite the fact that K+ ions continue to traverse the membrane via channels.

<h3>How does potassium diffuse in order to influence the membrane potential?</h3>
  • Potassium ions will flow down their concentration gradient, or towards the exterior of the cell, because the membrane is permeable to them.
  • Although the membrane is not permeable to sodium, there is a concentration gradient that favors sodium diffusion in the opposite direction.

Multiply 5730 years by 2 since two half-lives have gone by for carbon.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The half-life of a radioactive isotope depicts the measure of time that it takes half of the isotope in an example decay. On account of radiocarbon dating, the half-existence of carbon 14 is 5,730 years  

The half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years.  

In this manner, after  

1 half-life there is 50 % = 1/2 of the first amount left.  

2 half-lives there is 25 % = 1/4 of the first amount left.  

25% is two half-lives.  

Every 50% of life requires 5730 years.  

So two half-lives require 2 × 5730
