If all the channels in the membrane were open, what would happen to the length and time constants? O they would both decrease they would both increase O one would increase and one would decrease O channels do not affect the length constant QUESTION 18 If the sodium-potassium pump started moving double the number of ions across the membrane as it usually does, what would be the effect on the Nernst potential of potassium? O it would become more positive it would become more negative there would be no change O there is not enough information to determine the answer

The major role of the Na+/K+ pump is to: a. cause a rapid firing of the action potential so the inside of themembrane becomes momentarily positive. b. decrease the resting membrane potential to zero. c. hyperpolarize the membrane above resting value. d. cause an action potential to enter a refractory period. e. maintain the resting membrane potential at a constantnegative value.
A loss-of-function mutation in the ion channel responsible for thegeneration of end-plate potentials results in a diminished permeabilityof the ion channel. 1) How would you experimentally test the effect of the mutation on thefunctional properties of the cell (synapse)? You should discuss the typesof postsynaptic responses and physiological parameters you couldmeasure.
When a membrane is at rest, which channels are open? O Voltage-gated calcium channels O Voltage-gated potassium channels Leaky potassium channels O All the channels listed are open O Votlage-gated sodium channels
Potassium leak is a major determinant of resting membrane potential. What happens to the resting membrane potential when the intracellular concentration of potassium is increased to 120 mM? O a. It has no impact on the resting membrane potential O b. The resting membrane potential becomes more negative OC. The resting membrane potential becomes more positive O d. The resting membrane potential collapses
