Multiple Choice
If a cell's Na+/ K+ pump worked in reverse and had more leak channels for Na+ than for K+, what would the ion concentrations of the cell look like?
A) Intracellular Cl -would be increased, following Na+.
B) Intracellular anions would decrease in number.
C) Intracellular concentration of K+ would still be higher than Na+ because the body tries to maintain an extracellular concentration of Na+ at 145 mM.
D) The cell would swell since water follows Na+.
E) Although the body tries to maintain an extracellular concentration of Na+ at 145mM, the intracellular concentration of Na+ would still be higher.
