2) In the short term, what would happen to a spiking neuron if the concentration of potassium ions in the extracellular fluid was increased while the concentration inside the cell stayed the same? a) The resting membrane potential would become more negative b) The electrochemical force driving potassium out of the cell would increase c) Voltage-gated potassium channels would close d) The permeability of the membrane to potassium would decrease e) The resting membrane potential would become more positive and move closer to threshold
