Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cell membrane is restored to resting conditions after an action potential through the active transport of sodium and potassium ions. This process is facilitated by the sodium-potassium pump, which actively transports sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell, using ATP as an energy source.
