The electrical charge of the neuron during its __________ potential is negative,while the electrical charge of the neuron during its __________ potential is positive.
A) anionic; cationic
B) action; resting
C) dormant; stimulated
D) resting; action

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the resting potential, the neuron has a negative charge due to an excess of negatively charged ions inside the cell and positively charged ions outside the cell. During the action potential, this charge reverses, resulting in a positively charged neuron, as positively charged ions are rapidly moving into the cell.
