Question

In a resting state, sodium (na+) is at a higher concentration outside the cell and potassium (k+) is more concentrated inside the cell. during an action potential, the sodium levels ________ inside the cell

Answer 1

The sodium levels increase inside the cell during action potential. Opposite to resting state, depolarization is the shift of electrical charge resulting in positive charge inside the cell. Depolarization is the start of cell-to-cell communication and other necessary physiological functions of an organism.

Answer 2

Answer:

During an action potential, sodium levels increase within the cell

Explanation:

An action potential is a biological process that occurs within the cell and triggers an inversion in the variation of the plasma membrane potential. When the action potential occurs, the membrane allows substances to enter and exit the cell according to their needs.

Based on this, we can say that if at rest, sodium (na +) is at a higher concentration outside the cell, during the action potential the cell will be allowed to absorb this sodium by increasing its concentration within the cell. Likewise, if in the resting state the potassium levels inside the cell are higher than outside the cell, during the action potential, these the cell will "expel" potash, allowing its concentration inside the cell to decrease.
