When the membrane is at the potassium equilibrium potential, in which direction (in or out) is there a net movement of potassium

ions?

  • 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.

A molecule with the formula C18H36O2, would probably exhibit which of the following characteristics?
Mashcka [7]
The answer would be A—the molecular formula given is that of a long-chain, saturated fatty acid, which would be insoluble in water (i.e., hydrophobic).

—————————

B describes carbohydrates, which can function as a storage of energy (e.g., starch or glycogen) or structural components (e.g., cellulose). The three examples just given are polymers of glucose, a monosaccharide; monosaccharide generally have the empirical formula CH2O; this is not the empirical formula of the given molecule (and, in any case, there are too few oxygen atoms for the number of carbon atoms), and so B is incorrect.

C describes an amino acid, likely an α-amino acid, which consist of a central, saturated carbon bonded to amino (—NH2) and carboxyl (—C(=O)OH) functional groups and a variable side chain, which determines the amino acid’s properties. Since the formula of an amino acid must contain nitrogen, which the formula given doesn’t have, the molecule couldn’t be an amino acid, and so C is incorrect.

D describes nucleic acids. Examples include DNA and RNA; nucleic acids and the nucleotide monomers that comprise them contain a nitrogenous base and a phosphate group. The given molecule’s formula has neither nitrogen nor phosphorus, and so cannot represent an amino acid, making D incorrect.
