The Nernst and Goldman Equations Shown Are Used to Predict

Multiple Choice

The Nernst and Goldman equations shown are used to predict membrane potentials. Which equation is more likely to be accurate in predicting the resting membrane potential, and why?

A) The Goldman equation, because it also considers permeability of the membrane to all ions that cross it
B) The Nernst equation, because it takes into consideration the temperature of the cell
C) The Nernst equation, because it calculates permeability of the membrane to all ions that can be measured
D) The Goldman equation, because it calculates the potassium equilibrium potential
E) The Nernst equation, because it calculates the potassium equilibrium potential
