Adrienne’s doctor prescribed a new medication for her to take. The drug is affecting the leakage channels in her neurons. Which

of the following statements is false?
A) Adrienne’s neurons will function just as well as before, as the sodium-potassium pump will take over for the leakage channels.

B) Adrienne’s neurons will not be able to maintain the delicate balance necessary to keep her cells right at the resting membrane potential.

C) Adrienne’s neurons will likely die because there is no other way for sodium or potassium to enter or leave the cell other than through the channels.

D) Adrienne’s neurons will likely adapt to the medication and enable her neurons to no longer need her leakage channels for the resting membrane potential.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option B is correct.

B) Adrienne’s neurons will not be able to maintain the delicate balance necessary to keep her cells right at the resting membrane potential.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The option B is false because after the medication that the doctor provides her to take. Adrienne's neuron will function normal and a sodium-potassium pump will take over for the leakage channel. And it is not like that it will not be able to maintain the delicate balance of the cell.
