Answer: The correct answer is option E
Explanation:
Sodium/potassium pump is a mechanism that involves the movement of sodium ions (Na+) out of a cell and potassium ions (K+) into a cell, thereby regulating concentration of ions on both sides of a typical cell membrane.
In this situation, the sodium-potassium pump is usually helps in the establishment of the resting potential. The potassium voltage channels normally closes before the membrane potential is brought to a resting level.
In summary, sodium/potassium pump helps to maintain a balance in the system.
