Question

Na+ leaks through neuron membranes faster than k+ because of the properties of the non-gated leak channels. na+ leaks through neuron membranes faster than k+ because of the properties of the non-gated leak channels.

a. True

b. False

Answer 1

The answer to this question would be: b. False
There should be no significant speed difference in natrium leak channel compared to the potassium leak channel. The ion will move through the leak channel when the action potential is triggered. After that, the Na/K-ATPase pump will restore the membrane potential
