How much higher is the normal potassium concentration inside
the cell compared to outside the cell?


Sagot :

The sodium and chloride ion concentrations are lower inside the cell than outside, and the potassium concentration is greater inside the cell. These concentration differences for sodium and potassium are due to the action of a membrane active transport system which pumps sodium out of the cell and potassium into it.
