How does the cell maintain a higher level of K than of Na Qu

How does the cell maintain a higher level of K+ than of Na+? Question 15 options: A. The Na+ leaks out into the surrounding extracellular fluid. B. K+ is bound to sites inside the cell. C. The body contains less total Na+ than K+, so Na+ is found at a low concentration inside the cell. D. Na+ is actively transported out of the cell and K+ actively transported in the cell. E. Much of the Na+ outside the cell is bound to protein, so that no Na+ gradient exists across the cell membrane.

Solution

the answer would be

Na+ is actively transported out of the cell and K+ actively transported inside the cell.

EXPLINATION

For every 3 sodium which moves out of the cell 2 pottasium are actively entering the cell ... hence cell loses more sodium ions(3) and gains more potassium ions(2) .... thus maintanig more pottasium inside the cell ... this process is called sodium potassium pump.
