Assertion (A): The polarity of the membrane gets reversed when it becomes positively charged from the outer side.
Reason (R): Reversal of the polarity can make the membrane depolarised.
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true, but (R) is false.
4. (A) is false, but (R) is true.

Assertion (A): The imbalance in concentration of Na+, K+ and proteins generates resting potential.
Reason (R): To maintain the unequal distribution of Naand  K+, the neurons use electrical energy.
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true but (R) is false.
4. Both (A) and (R) are false.
