The _______maintains the resting membrane potential. A) equilibrium potential B) Na⁺/Ca²⁺exchanger C) action potential D) Na⁺/H⁺antiporter E) Na⁺/K⁺pump

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Na+/K+ pump (sodium-potassium pump) is responsible for maintaining the resting membrane potential by actively transporting Na+ out of the cell and K+ into the cell, thus establishing the necessary ion gradient.
