Which of the following statements is true about transmembrane electrical potential?(a) The chemical gradient drives Cl^– and K^+ inwards(b) The electrical gradient drives Na^+ and Ca^+2 inwards(c) The chemical gradient drives Na^+ and Ca^+2 inwards and K^+ outward(d) The chemical gradient drives Cl^– and K^+ outwardsThis question was posed to me in unit test.My question is from Gated Ion Channels in section Biosignalling of Biochemistry

Answer»

Right option is (c) The chemical gradient DRIVES Na^+ and Ca^+2 inwards and K^+ OUTWARD

The explanation is: The chemical gradient drives Na^+ and Ca^+2 inwards and K^+ outward, electrical gradient drives Cl^–.
