How Does the Cell Maintain a Higher Level of K⁺

question 3

Multiple Choice

How does the cell maintain a higher level of K⁺ than of Na⁺?

• A) The Na⁺ leaks out into the surrounding extracellular fluid.
• B) K⁺ is bound to sites inside the cell.
• C) The body contains less total Na⁺ than K⁺, so Na⁺ is found at a low concentration inside the cell.
• D) Na⁺ is actively transported out of the cell and K⁺ actively transported in the cell.
• E) Much of the Na⁺ outside the cell is bound to protein, so that no Na+ gradient exists across the cell membrane.
