Potential generated due to movement of freely diffusible ions across a semi-permeable membrane is calculated using:
(A) Nemst equation (B) Gibbs equation (C) Goldman-Hodgkin-Katz equation (D) Fick principle
(A) Ans: A. Nemst equation(Ref Ganong 25/e9, p24/e Guyton 13ze p61).Nernst equation:Calculates potential generated due to movement of freely diffusible ions across a semi-permeable membrane.Describes "relation of diffusion potential to ion concentration difference across a membrane".
