  3. Describes the equilibrium potential of the cell for a particular ion

  4. � R Universal gas constant (8.314472 J • K ⁻ ¹) � T Absolute temperature (Temp. °C + 273.15 K) � z � z Ionic charge (+1 for K ) Ionic charge (+1 for K ⁺ ) � F Faraday constant (9.6485309 x 10 ⁴ C mol ⁻ ¹) ² ²

  6. � Ions flow across membrane according to gradient “Chemical concentration vs. electrical potential” potential � An ion continues to flow until the equilibrium potential for that ion has been reached potential for that ion has been reached � Each ion contributes to net current � Each ion contributes proportionally to its rate p p y of conductance “Selective permeability”

  7. � Why we need them: Lipid bilayer itself doesn’t allow ion leakage across membrane
