With reference to potassium, sodium and negative organic ions, the charge distribution inside aneuron compared to its outer side during resting condition (resting membrane potential)comprises of
Correct answer: A. Option A
- A. Option A
- B. Option B
- C. Option C
- D. Option D
Explanation
In the resting state, potassium ions concentration is higher in the cells, sodium ions concentration is less in the cell and negative ions are more. This maintains negativety inside the cell which is a feature of resting membrane potential. So option A is correct. All others are incorrect.

About Neurons and Nerve Impulse
Neurons receive and transmit information through dendrites, the cell body and axons. The topic explains resting potential, depolarization, repolarization, refractory periods and saltatory conduction, followed by synaptic transmission through neurotransmitters. An action potential is distinct from the graded potential produced at a receptor.
