Which of the following statements about a steady state is false?
- During a steady state there is no net change in the membrane potential.
- The resting potential is an example of a steady state.
- During a steady state each ion's driving force is O mv.
- A system at equilibrium is also considered to be at a steady state.

Respuesta :

Answer: During a steady state each ion's driving force is O mv

Explanation:

When a cell is considered to be in steady state it means that the concentration ions and molecules within the cell is constant. As a result, a system at equilibrium is also considered to be at a steady state.

When in steady state, the membrane potential experiences no net change which is why the resting potential is an example of a steady state.

However during a steady state, each ion's driving force is not 0 mv.
