You are in a lab and conduct a patch clamp experiment (Figure Q2-39) in which you change the voltage across the membrane by +20 mV (top trace). You record the resulting single channel current (lower three traces). Based on these single channel currents, what do you think the whole-cell current would look like? Figure Q2-39
