question 210

Essay

Draw a graph showing what would happen to resting membrane potential over time, if the sodium/potassium pump were not functioning.How would this affect a neuron's ability to produce action potentials? What does this imply about the quantity of ions that normally cross the membrane during the course of an action potential?
