Why is the magnitude of Na+ electrochemical gradient created by the Na+/K+ pump larger than the magnitude of K+ electrochemical gradient?
A) because K+ chemical and electrical gradients occur in the same direction whereas Na+ electrical and chemical gradients occur in opposite directions
B) because Na+ chemical and electrical gradients occur in the same direction whereas K+ electrical and chemical gradients occur in opposite directions
C) because Na+ is a bigger ion than potassium
D) because Na+ gradient is directed toward the inside of the cell
