10The sodium-potassium ATPase pump has three main functions. It exports 3 Na+ for 2 K+ against their concentration gradients. Per action, one net positive charge moves outside of the cell. These maintain the ionic gradients and make the membrane inside the cell ~10-15 mV more negative than the outside. What is the third primary function?
- ABuilding the osmotic gradient - inducing osmosis from inside to outside the cell.
- BBuilding the osmotic gradient - inducing osmosis from outside to inside the cell.
- CCounteracting the osmotic gradient - inhibiting osmosis from inside to outside the cell.
- DCounteracting the osmotic gradient - inhibiting osmosis from outside to inside the cell.
11In some individuals, red blood cells (RBCs) express a high density of Na/K-ATPases to counteract the unusually high permeability of the membrane to Na+. When these RBCs reach and are delayed in the vein of the spleen, what would happen to these RBCs?
- AThey may swell and rupture.
- BThey may shrink in volume.
- CThey may decrease in membrane potential (membrane inside the cell becomes more negative)
- DThey may increase in intracellular potassium.
12If you have a membrane that is impermeable to both sodium and potassium ions, what is the resting membrane potential?
- A0 mV

14What would the membrane potential of a cell be if it were only permeable to sodium ions?
- A60 mV
- B90 mV
- C-90 mV

15At resting conditions, we know that the membrane potential of a neuron is about -70 mV. From this value, we can conclude:
- APK > PNa at resting conditions
- BPNa > PK at resting conditions
- CPK = PNa at resting conditions

- AAction potentials will occur more easily
- BAction potentials will not occur as easily
- CThere will be no change in action potential generation
19The presence of leak potassium channels, which are always open:
- ADrives the membrane potential towards the potassium equilibrium potential (-90 mV)
- BDrives the membrane potential towards the potassium equilibrium potential (-70 mV)
- CDrives the membrane potential towards the sodium equilibrium potential (-90 mV)
- DDrives the membrane potential towards the sodium equilibrium potential (60 mV)

- AIt will increase
- BIt will decrease
- CIt will not change
