Because of the active transport of Na⁺ and K⁺,the intracellular concentration of Na⁺ is lower than the extracellular concentration,whereas the reverse is true for K⁺.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Active transport of Na⁺ and K⁺ establishes an electrochemical gradient, where the intracellular concentration of K⁺ is higher than the extracellular concentration, and the intracellular concentration of Na⁺ is lower than the extracellular concentration. This is a fundamental characteristic of all living cells.

Because of the Active Transport of Na⁺ and K⁺,the Intracellular
