Similarly, what will be the effect on membrane potential if Ct ions move into the cell? a) Ct entry will make the inside of the cell more negative (hyperpolarizing) b) The membrane potential won't be significantly affected (non-polarizing) c) Ct entry will make the inside of the cell more positive (depolarizing) d) Ct will bring the membrane potential to 0 (neutral)

In simple words, osmosis is the slow, gradual movement of a liquid through a membrane. But there are nuances to this process. For instance, there has to be an imbalance in the distribution of solute in the liquid on either side of the membrane, which has…
