Question

Statement I: Ionic gradients across the resting membrane are maintained by the passive transport of ions by the sodium-potassium pump.\ Statement II: Sodium-potassium pump transports $2 \mathrm{Na}^{+}$outwards for $3 \mathrm{~K}^{+}$into the cell across the resting membrane.\

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

(d) : lonic gradients across the resting membrane are maintained by the active transport of ions by the sodium-potassium pump which transports $3 \mathrm{Na}^{+}$outwards for $2 \mathrm{~K}^{+}$into the cell.
