There is onlu one answer that correct    A cell is at rest at -70 mV, and chloride channels open. In which direction does chloride flow and how does this affect the membrane potential? Group of answer choices One would expect the efflux of Cl-,this making the inside of the cell more positive. One would expect the influx of chloride ions resulting in the movement away from threshold. There would be no effect as the permeability for Cl is ZERO Based on yesterday's lab, chloride plays no role in the membrane potential
