The cells have a high intracellular  Kconcentration and a low Na+ concentration. this is essentially needed for the survival of the cell. 

high cellular K+ is required for the optimal glycolysis and for protein biosynthesis. further, Na+ and K+ gradients across plasma membranes are needed for the transmission of nerve impulse.
