The concentration of potassium is higher in red blood cells than in the surrounding blood plasma. this higher concentration is maintained by the process of

active transport

Explanation:

Active transport -

It refers to the movement of the molecules from a region of lower concentration towards a region of higher concentration via a membrane , is referred to as active transport.

The process of active transport need to have some cellular energy .

Hence,

The concentration of potassium is maintained in the red blood cells via the process of active transport.
