Q. If the sodium-potassium pump of a neuron failed what effect would this likely have on the neurons?
A
The concentration of positive and negative ions would cause the neuron to become positively charged inside and in ECF also
6%
B
Voltage gated potassium channels and voltage gated sodium channels would function for longer time
6%
C
The neurons could not generate action potential until the resting potential is fully restored
35%
D
The concentration of sodium ions would be higher outside the cell and potassium ions would be higher inside
53%
Solution:
Correct answer is (c) The neurons could not generate action potential until the resting potential is fully restored
