Answer Key : (c) -

(c)

When a neuron is not conducting any impulse, i.e., resting, the axonal membrane is comparatively more permeable to potassium ions ( ) and nearly impermeable to sodium ions ( ). Similarly, the membrane is impermeable to negatively charged proteins present in the axoplasm. Consequently, the axoplasm inside the axon contains high concentration of  and negatively charged proteins and low concentration of . In contrast, the fluid outside the axon contains a low concentration of , a high concentration of  and thus form a concentration gradient



Next Question :

Maintenance of the ionic gradients across the resting membrane is done by the

a)

Active transport of ions

b)

Passive transport of ions

c)

Active transport of proteins

d)

Passive transport of proteins
