B.electrical gradient for K⁺ at the equilibrium potential for K⁺
A)A is greater than B
B)B is greater than A
C)A and B are equal

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At the equilibrium potential for K⁺, the concentration gradient for K⁺ and the electrical gradient for K⁺ are equal and opposite, so A and B are equal.
