Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The concentration of potassium ions (K+) is higher inside the cell than outside due to the action of the sodium-potassium pump, which actively transports K+ into the cell and Na+ out of the cell. This difference in concentration is important for establishing the resting membrane potential and for the proper functioning of neuronal signaling.
