Upon fertilization, the eggs of many species undergo a rapid change in potential difference across their outer membrane. this change affects the physiological development of the eggs. the potential difference across the membrane is called the membrane potential, vm, which is the potential inside the membrane minus the potential outside it. the membrane potential arises when enzymes use the energy available in atp to expel three sodium ions (na+) actively and accumulate two potassium ions (k) inside the membrane-making the interior less positively charged than the exterior. for a sea urchin egg, vm is about -70 mv; that is, the potential inside is 70 mv less than that outside. the egg membrane behaves as a capacitor with a capacitance of about 1 uf/cm2. the membrane of the unfertilized egg is selectively permeable to kt: k can readily pass through certain channels in the membrane, but other ions cannot. when a sea urchin egg is fertilized, na+ channels in the membrane open, na+ enters the egg, and vm rapidly increases to +30 mv, where it remains for several minutes. the concentration of na* is about 30 mmol/l in the egg's interior but 450 mmol/l in the surrounding seawater. the kt concentration is about 200 mmol/l inside but 10 mmol/l outside. a useful constant that connects electrical and chemical units is the faraday number, which has a value of approximately 10° c/mol. avogadro's number (1 mole) of monovalent ions such as na+ or k carries a charge of 10° c. suppose the egg has a diameter of 200 um . what fractional change in internal na+ concentration results from the fertilization-induced change in vm ? assume that the nations are distributed throughout the cell volume. the concentration increases by o 1 part in 10% o 1 part in 10? 0 1 part in 104 o 1 part in 106

The movement of ions across a membrane is dependent on both the membrane potential and the ion’s concentration gradient. this combination of electrical force and ion concentration is known as the electrochemical gradient. which of the following statements about membrane potential is false? a. membrane potential is the result of unequal distribution of cations and anions on opposite sides of the membrane. b. the charge of the cytoplasmic side of the membrane is positive relative to the extracellular side of the membrane. c. membrane potential allows for the passive transport of cations more often than anions. d. membrane potential is maintained by ion pumps.

Which of the following is false regarding the membrane potential? a) the resting membrane potential is maintained by solely by passive transport processes.b) in their resting state, all body cells exhibit a resting membrane potential.c) the resting membrane potential is determined mainly by the concentration gradients and differential permeability of the plasma membrane to k+ and na+ions.d) the resting membrane potential occurs due to active transport of ions across the membrane due to the sodium-potassium pump.
