Read the assertion and reson carefully to mark the correct option out of the options given below: Assertion : The imbalance in concentration of Na^(+) , K^(+) and proteins generates resting potential. Reason : To maintain the unequal distribution of Na^(+) & K^(+) , the neurons use electrical energy.

the concentration of Na,K, Ca in a cell in decreasing order is

Hormone controlling Na^(+)-K^(+) ion concentration is

Which mineral is responsible for determining solute concentration is cell along with Na^(+) and K^(+) ?

Which diagram shows the distribution of Na^(+) and K^(+) ions in a section of non- myelinated axon which is at resting potential

Assertion : When a neuron is not conducting any impulse, i.e. resting, the axoplasm inside the axon contains high concentration of K^(+) and negatively charged proteins and low concentration of Na^(+) . Reason : In resting, the axonal membrane is comparatively more permeable to K^(+) ions and nearly impermeable to Na^(+) ions. Similarly, the membrane is impermeable to negatively charged proteins present in axoplasm
