Na+ leaks through neuron membranes faster than k+ because of the properties of the non-gated leak channels. na+ leaks through neuron membranes faster than k+ because of the properties of the non-gated leak channels.

a. True

b. False

Respuesta :

Answer: b. False

K+ ions move faster than the Na+ ions through the neuron membranes.

The concentration of Sodium ions outside the cell is very high. The concentration of Potassium ions inside the cells is very high. Leakage channels thus allow sodium ions to move inside the cells and pumps out the Potassium from the cells.
