A muscle cell experiencing resting membrane potential is:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Resting membrane potential refers to the polarization of a cell, meaning there is a difference in charge between the interior and exterior of the cell. The cell is more negative on the interior and positive on the exterior, resulting in a polarized state. Choice A is incorrect because depolarization refers to a change in membrane potential where the interior becomes less negative. Choice B is incorrect because propagating an action potential means the cell is actively transmitting an electrical signal, not in a resting state. Choice D is incorrect because the statement is opposite to the definition of resting membrane potential.
