Question
outward across the cell membrane inward across the cell membrane tangentially to the cell membrane Correct In a typical living cell, the electric potential inside the cell is7.410^?2 V lower than the electric potential outside the cell. The thickness of the cell membrane is 0.10 Mu m . What is the direction of the electric field within the cell membrane? outward across the cell membrane inward across the cell membrane tangentially to the cell membrane Correct What is the magnitude of the electric field within the cell membrane? Express your answer using two significant figures.
Explanation / Answer
inward across the cell membrane E= V/D =7.4*10^-2/.1*10^-6 =7.4*10^4 V/m
