Question

required information
how membrane potential is generated
due to the unequal transport of sodium and potassium ions by the na-k pump, a membrane potential is generated.
true or false
true false

Explanation:

The Na - K pump (sodium - potassium pump) transports 3 sodium ions out of the cell and 2 potassium ions into the cell per cycle. This unequal transport of sodium and potassium ions creates an electrochemical gradient, which in turn generates a membrane potential (a voltage difference across the cell membrane). So the statement is true.

Answer:

True
