MCQ
In a resting neuron, the axonal membrane is
  • A
    Nearly impermeable to potassium ions $(K^+)$
  • B
    Impermeable to positively charged proteins present in the axoplasm
  • Comparatively more permeable to $K^+$
  • D
    Completely permeable to sodium ions $(Na^+)$

Answer

Correct option: C.
Comparatively more permeable to $K^+$
c
At resting state, axonal membrane is more permeable to $K^+$ ions due to opening of $K^+$ leaky channels
