Na leaks through neuron membranes faster than K because of t

Na+ leaks through neuron membranes faster than K+ because of the properties of the non-gated leak channels. True or false?

Solution

Answer: False

There are more K+ ion channels than Na+ oins channels in the cell membrane, so, leakage is faster in the potassium than the sodium. 3 Na+ moves out and 2 K+ moves in against concentration gradient in the cell.
