True or False Questions 1.  The equilibrium potential of an ion will affect the membrane potential of the cell if the permeability for that ion is zero. (T/F) 2. When there is only one ion permeability and the cell is at rest, then Eion  =  Vrest (T/F) 3. In a generic neuron, Vrest is positive and close to Ek (T/F) 4. the three ions that have biggest contribution to Vm value are K+, Na+ and Cl- (T/F) 5. In a generic cell, the concentration of Na+ is larger outside than inside (T/F) 6. In a generic cell, the concentration of Cl- is lower outside than inside (T/F) 7. A cell at rest only has 2 types of ion permeabilities (where P ion_1 = 1 and P ion_2 =1) the concentration gradients of the two ion types have the same magnitude but opposite polarity (Assume both types of ions have the same valence). Thus, Vm = 0 mV (T/F)
