Question

reestablishment of the resting membrane potential occurs through
multiple choice
active transport of only sodium ions
diffusion of sodium and potassium ions
active transport of sodium and potassium ions
active transport of only potassium ions

Explanation:

The resting - membrane potential is re - established by the sodium - potassium pump which actively transports sodium and potassium ions. The sodium - potassium pump moves 3 sodium ions out of the cell and 2 potassium ions into the cell against their concentration gradients, using ATP. This restores the ion distribution necessary for the resting membrane potential.

Answer:

C. Active transport of sodium and potassium ions
