Anatomy & Physiology

Which would be true once equilibrium is reached? A. The concentration of Na+ in A will be higher than it was at time zero. B. Diffusion of K+ from A to B will be greater than the diffusion of K+ from B to A. C. There will be a potential difference across the membrane, with side B negative relative to side A. D. The electrical potential difference and diffusion potential due to the concentration gradient for K+ will be equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. E. The concentration of Cl- will be higher in B than it was at time zero.
