Potential difference across resting memb...

Potential difference across resting membrane is negatively charged. This is due to differential distribution of the following ions.

A

`Na^(+) and K^(+)` ions

B

`CO_(3)^(++) and CI^(-)` ions

C

`Ca^(++) and Mg^(++)` ions

D

`Ca^(++) and CI^(-)` ions

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
ECF is with about 14 times more `Na^(+)` ions concentration than in the cytosol while cytosol is with about 35 times more `K^(+)` ions concentration than that of ECF.
