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
