To achieve a resting potential of -70 millivolts
A)there must be no protein in the neuron
B)the neuron must depolarize
C)the neuron must use graded potentials
D)there must be a higher concentration of negative ions inside the cell
E)there must be a higher concentration of negative ions outside the cell

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To achieve a resting potential of -70 millivolts, there must be a higher concentration of negative ions inside the cell compared to the outside. This difference in ion concentration creates the negative charge characteristic of the resting potential.
