Question

after the passage of the action potential, the sodium - potassium pump re - establishes the resting membrane potential. true or false

Explanation:

During an action potential, sodium ions enter the cell and potassium ions exit. After the action potential, the sodium - potassium pump actively transports 3 sodium ions out of the cell and 2 potassium ions into the cell, consuming ATP. This restores the ion concentration gradients and re - establishes the resting membrane potential.

Answer:

True
