The resting potential depends on the leak channels and the equilibrium potential of the ions that they are permeable to. 6. What ions do we have leak channels for? (You should have 3 ions in your answers) Which is the most abundant leak channel in neuronal membranes? 7. What are the approx. Equilibrium Potentials for each of those ions? 8. What would be the resting potential of a neuron if it were only permeable to ? [Write down the aprox. numeric value] 9. What would be the resting potential of a neuron if it were only permeable to ? [Write down the aprox. numeric value] 10. What would be the resting potential of a neuron if it were equally permeable to ? [Write down the aprox. numeric value. Explain.

6:
There are three ions for which we have leak channels: potassium (K+), sodium (Na+), and chloride (Cl-). Among these, the most abundant leak channel in neuronal membranes is the potassium (K+) leak channel.
