All of the following are true about potassium, except

Mostly concentrated inside the cells

Leaves the cell in the presence of insulin

Ingestion of acetazolamide results in potassium loss

Plasma concentration increases at time of metabolic acidosis

High-Yield Explanation

Insulin increases permeability of the cell to potassium, magnesium,phosphate ions.the effect of potassium is clinically impoant, insulin activates sodium potassium pump causing influx of potassium Ref:Guyton and Hall textbook of medical physiology 12th edition,page number: 610,611,612
