Assertion : The imbalance in the concentration of $\mathrm{Na}^{+}, \mathrm{K}^{+}$and proteins generates the resting potential.
Reason : To maintain the unequal distribution of $\mathrm{Na}^{+}$and $\mathrm{K}^{+}$, the neurons use electrical energy.
If both the assertion and reason are true and reason is a correct explanation of the assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true but assertion is not a correct explanation of the assertion.
If the assertion is true but the reason is false.
If both assertion and reason are false.
Solution
To maintain the unequal distribution of $\mathrm{Na}^{+}$ and $\mathrm{K}^{+}$ion, the neuron uses chemical energy in the form of ATP to actively transport $\mathrm{Na}^{+}$ion out of the cell and move $\mathrm{K}^{+}$inside the cell.
