a) Imagine you are conducting an experiment to measure the resting potential of a nerve cell. One input to the recording device is from the probe that gets inserted into the cell. Why is it necessary that the other input be connected to the wire sitting in the saline in which the cell is immersed? b) What change in the saline solution could cause the membrane potential to be reduced (made less negative)? c) Plot a typical trace, just as you would see on the measuring device during the experiment, showing the period just before and as your -probe enters the nerve cell. Label the axes of this plot.
