Question

the cell membrane of a neuron has both gated and non - gated ion channels. which type of non - gated channel is more abundant?
multiple choice
non - gated sodium channels
non - gated potassium channels

Explanation:

Neurons' cell membranes have non - gated ion channels. Potassium (\(K^+\)) has a higher permeability through non - gated channels compared to sodium (\(Na^+\)) at rest. This is because there are more non - gated potassium channels. These channels play a crucial role in establishing the resting membrane potential of the neuron.

Answer:

Non - gated potassium channels
