The Outside of a Neuron Is Positively Charged at Resting

question 67

Multiple Choice

The outside of a neuron is positively charged at resting potential.Why do K⁺ ions leave the cell when K⁺ channels open during an action potential?

• A)The diffusion gradient is the only factor that affects ion movement.
• B)K⁺ ions are actively pumped out by the sodium-potassium pump acting in reverse.
• C)Voltage-gated K+ channels open when membrane potential reaches +50 mV during the depolarization phase.The diffusion gradient and electrical force cooperate to drive K+ ions out of the cell.
• D)Negatively charged proteins leave the cell at the onset of the action potential.
