During a resting pause following depolarization,the sodium/potassium pump transports ________ ions ________ a neuron.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sodium/potassium pump is responsible for the restoration of the resting membrane potential following depolarization. It pumps out three sodium ions for every two potassium ions it pumps in, resulting in a net loss of positive charge from the inside of the cell. Therefore, during a resting pause following depolarization, the sodium/potassium pump transports positively charged ions (sodium) out of a neuron.
