Question

In general, compare what happens when you add more K+ versus adding more Na+ to the outside of the cell: (select all that apply]

Both Na+ and K+ cause the Vm to depolarizes

Both Na+ and K+ cause the Vm to hyperpolarizes

Vm depolarizes much faster for increases in K+ then Na+

Vm hyperpolarizes much faster for increases in K+ then Na+

Vm depolarizes much faster for increases in Na+ then K+

Vm hyperpolarizes much faster for increases in Na+ then K+

Increases in external Na+ is far more problematic than increase in K+

Increases in external K+ is far more problematic than increase in Na+

Explanation / Answer

Increase in K+ over Na+ outside the cell has the following consequences,
