Question

na+ ions are encouraged to move into neurons by nonrandom assignment. selective ion channels. nonrandom movement. the sodium - potassium pump. electrostatic pressure. question 33 1.5 pts according to the theory of hodgkin and huxley, k+ ions are continuously pumped out of a resting neuron. na+ ions continuously leak out of a resting neuron. na+ ions are continuously pumped into a resting neuron. k+ ions continuously leak out of a resting neuron.

Explanation:

For the first question, electrostatic pressure encourages $Na^{+}$ ions to move into neurons as there is an electrical - charge difference across the neuron membrane. For the second question, according to Hodgkin and Huxley's theory, in a resting neuron, the sodium - potassium pump actively pumps $Na^{+}$ out and $K^{+}$ in, and $K^{+}$ ions continuously leak out of a resting neuron due to the presence of leak channels.

Answer:

Question 1: electrostatic pressure
Question 2: $K^{+}$ ions continuously leak out of a resting neuron.
