The Nernst-Planck equation describes the concentration and electric fluxes near the cell membrane (here [C] is the ionic concentration): J=Ic+JE = μRTV[C] - uF[C]Vo Considering an equilibrium (J = 0) one-dimensional (V= d/dx) flux of ions across the membrane, show the equilibrium Nernst potential for a specific ion can be determined by the following expression: RT [C]. [C] Vc = $100 = -In- F [3 marks] Given the values [Na], = 50 mM, [Na]. = 440 mM and RT/F = 26 mV (at room temperature of 23 °C), evaluate the Nernst potential Va [1 mark] The Nernst-Planck equation describes the concentration and electric fluxes near the cell membrane (here [C] is the ionic concentration): J=Ic+JE = μRTV[C] - uF[C]Vo Considering an equilibrium (J = 0) one-dimensional (V= d/dx) flux of ions across the membrane, show the equilibrium Nernst potential for a specific ion can be determined by the following expression: RT [C].
