Given the concentration of Na+ inside the cell is about 10 mmol/L while it is

140 mmol/L in the extracellular fluid. The values for K+ are 140 mmol/L inside

the cell and 4 mmol/L extracellularly. In what directions would these ions

diffuse?

A: Na would diffuse form 140 mmol/L to 10 – the direction of its

concentration gradient which is from outside to inside. K would diffuse from

140 mmol/L to 4, that is from inside to outside.
