A nerve fibre contains a membrane separating two conducting fluids maintained at a potential difference. What is the order of this potential difference.

Which of the following option is correct for the statement 'X' and 'Y'? Statement 'X' : Immediately after repolarization, ionic imbalance is created on both the sides of nerve fibre. Statement 'Y' : During repolarization K^(+) ion channel open up and K^(+) ion moves on innerside of plasma membrane. Options :

The concentration of potassium ions inside a biological cell is at least 20 times higher than outside. The resulting potential difference across the cell is important in several processes such as transmission of nerve impulses and maintaining the ion balance.
