The resting mem brane potential A) Is set by the Na,K -ATPase B) Depends on the permeabilities and equilibrium potentials of all ions C) Is closest to the equilibrium potential for Ca²⁺ D) Is the same for all cells E) Is the potential at which all ions are in equilibrium

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The resting membrane potential is determined by the relative permeabilities of the membrane to different ions and their respective equilibrium potentials, primarily potassium (K+) and sodium (Na+).
