Question

In a nerve cell, potassium concentration is
(a) less on the inside
(b) greater on the outside of membrane
(c) more concentrated inside
(d) equal on both sides of membrane

Answer 1

Answer:

c)

Explanation:

Because there is a higher concentration of potassium ions inside the cells, their random molecular motion is more likely to encounter the permeability pore (ion channel) that is the case for the potassium ions that are outside and at a lower concentration.

Answer 2

Option (c).  In a nerve cell, potassium concentration is more concentrated inside.

• The communication between the brain and the human body is carried out by the nerve cell.
• The flow of potassium, to and from those nerve cells is very important for the functions related to nerves and the cardiovascular.
• Potassium pumps are the ones that pa-ss potassium into the cell.
• The potassium quantity is greater on the cell's inside than on the outside.
