Question
Which of the following membranes of a cell is most related to diffusion of sodium and potassium? A. Microvilli B. Nuclear C. Neurilemma D. Tonoplast
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
The neurilemma (also known as the Schwann cell membrane or plasma membrane of a nerve cell) is intimately involved in the diffusion and active transport of ions like sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+), which are crucial for generating nerve impulses (action potentials).
Hint
Think about which cell type is famous for its electrical activity based on sodium and potassium movement.
