Professor Bouchard asks her psychopharmacology students, "What causes neurons to maintain a resting potential?" Who gives the correct answer?
A) Genevieve: "Negatively charged proteins within the neuron, coupled with closed Na+ ion channels."
B) Pedro: "K+ trapped outside the neuron and positively charged proteins trapped within."
C) Javier: "High permeability to Na+ influx, along with intracellular impermeable negatively charged proteins."
D) Suzette: "High levels of K+ and Na+ trapped inside the neuron, along with negatively charged proteins outside."
