Membrane Potential is Related to the Uneven Distribution of What

Question

Membrane potential is related to the uneven distribution of what two positively charged ions?
A)​salt and sugar
B)calcium and magnesium
C)hydrogen and oxygen
D)sodium and potassium
E)​chloride and phosphorus

Accepted Answer

Membrane potential is related to the uneven distribution of positively charged ions, specifically, sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+). The concentration gradient of Na+ and K+ across the cell membrane creates an electrochemical gradient, which contributes to the generation and maintenance of the resting membrane potential.
