NEETBiologyNeural Control and CoordinationMCQ+4 / −1
In the resting state of the neural membrane, diffusion due to concentration gradients, if allowed, would drive
- AK+ into the cell
- BK+ and Na+ out of the cell
- CNa+ into the cell
- DNa+ out of the cell.
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
In a resting state of the neural membrane, Na+ concentration is higher on the outer side and K+ concentration is more within the cell. This concentration gradient is maintained by voltage gated channels. Hence if diffusion is allowed Na+ would enter the cell and K+ would leave.
