Which of the following best describes the function of ion channels during resting potential?
A) regulating the potassium and calcium ions outside the cell
B)maintaining the distance between ions outside the cell
C) regulating the amount of sodium and potassium ions in the cell
D) regulating the action of calcium ions inside the cell

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ion channels, particularly sodium and potassium channels, play a crucial role in maintaining the resting potential of a cell by regulating the movement of sodium and potassium ions across the cell membrane. This process helps to establish and maintain the negative charge inside the cell relative to the outside.
