The Na⁺/K⁺pump Helps a Muscle Cell Maintain a State

Question

The Na⁺/K⁺pump helps a muscle cell maintain a state of: A)action potential. B)propagation. C)depolarization. D)resting membrane potential.

Accepted Answer

The Na⁺/K⁺ pump is responsible for actively transporting sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell, which helps to maintain the resting membrane potential of the cell. Therefore, the best choice is D, resting membrane potential.
