The positive inside rule is a general rule for membrane proteins. Because of the mechanism involved in transmembrane domain insertion (regions of the protein which cross the membrane), membrane proteins tend to have more residues which can take on a positive charge on the inside of their cells. So, almost all, if not all membrane proteins have more solvent exposed Lysine and Arginine residues on the sides of the transmembrane domains which rest inside of the cell in comparison to the number which rest on the outside of the cell.

Is the nucleus of there atoms positive negative or neutral?

inside the nucleus there are protons which are positive and neutrons that are neutral, because the neutrons are neutral they don't affect the charge. so the Nucleus is Positive.


What is the major positive ion outside of cells?

Sodium is the major positive ion outside the cell. Potassium is the major positive ion inside the cell.


What condition is neuron in when the outside of the neuron has a net positive charge and the inside has net negative charge?

This is called the resting potential (inactive state) of the neuron. However, when a neurotransmitter binds to receptors, electrical stimulus is applied, etc. to induce an opening of ion channels in the membrane of the neuron, positive ions rush into the neuron from the outside to the inside, and result in a sharp increase of the positive charge density (due to more positive ions) inside the neuron. Beyond a certain threshold, this can induce the creation of an action potential, causing the neuron to fire. After the action potential is created, and the neuron fires, there is a short refractory period where the neuron cannot be fired again due to stimuli, when positive ions are pumped back out of the neuron, negative ions are brought into the neuron, and then the ion channels close, leaving the neuron in a polarized state, and returning it to a resting potential.


Why did Thomson think that atom must contain positive charges?

Thomson thought that the atom must contain positive charges because his discovery of electrons inside the atom indicated the presence of negatively charged particles. To balance the negative charge of electrons, there must be positive charges present within the atom.


Do net ionic equations always obey the rule of conservation of charge?

Yes, net ionic equations must obey the rule of conservation of charge. This means that the total positive charge on one side of the equation must equal the total positive charge on the other side, and the same goes for negative charge. This ensures that charge is conserved in the reaction.

What causes the inside of neuron becomes positive?

Outside a neuron, there are mostly sodium ions but some potassium ions. Inside the neuron, there are only potassium ions. Since both sodium and potassium are positive ions, and they are in a higher concentration outside the cell, that makes the outside have a more positive charge than the inside. But for all intents and purposes, the outside is positive, and the inside is negative. When the sodium ions (Na+) rush into the cell during depolarization, it causes the concentration of positive ions inside the cell to go WAY up, making the inside more positive than the outside. This means that the outside is now negative and the inside now positive.

What is the rule in dividing integers?

The rule in dividing integers is to divide the absolute values. Two positive integers or two negative integers equals positive product. If one integer is positive and the other is negative, the product is negative.
