Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Nernst equation is used to calculate the equilibrium potential for an ion across a membrane, and it is correctly written as 61/z × log [ion]ₒᵤt / [ion]ᵢn, where 61 is a constant at physiological temperature, z is the charge of the ion, and [ion]ₒᵤt and [ion]ᵢn are the concentrations of the ion outside and inside the cell, respectively.
