Dr. Brainy creates a nerve cell that is only permeable to Caesium ions (Cs+1) at rest. She measures that the concentration of Caesium is 400mM outside the cell and only 50 mM inside the cell. She calculates the Equilibrium potential for Cs+1 (Ecs) to be +35 mV. If the cell is only permeable to Cs, the resting membrane potential will be: +58 mV 0 mV +35 mV -58 mV

The voltage produced by a single nerve or muscle cell is quite small, but there are many species of fish that use multiple action potentials in series to produce significant voltages. The electric organs in these fish are composed of specialized disk-shaped cells called electrocytes. The cell at rest has the usual potential difference between the inside and the outside, but the net potential difference across the cell is zero. An electrocyte is connected to nerve fibers that initially trigger a depolarization in one side of the cell but not the other. For the very short time of this depolarization, there is a net potential difference across the cell, as shown. Stacks of these cells connected in series can produce a large total voltage. Each stack can produce a small current; for more total current, more stacks are needed, connected in parallel. In an electric eel, each electrocyte can develop a voltage of 150 mV for a short time. For a total voltage of 450 V, how many electrocytes must…
