Question

what can be the cause of weakened muscle and kidney functioning? a. too little potassium b. too much potassium c. too little calcium d. too much calcium please select the best answer from the choices provided.

Explanation:

Potassium is essential for muscle contraction and nerve - impulse transmission. Low potassium levels (hypokalemia) can lead to muscle weakness and also affect kidney function. High potassium levels can cause other problems like abnormal heart rhythms. Calcium is mainly related to bone health, muscle contraction in a different context than potassium, and nerve function. Too little calcium mainly affects bones and nerves first, not typically directly causing weakened kidney function along with muscle weakness in the way potassium does.

Answer:

A. too little potassium
