Which value represents a realistic measurement of a neuron's resting potential?
A) -240 mV
B) -60 mV
C) 800 V
D) 2,100 V

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The resting potential of a neuron is typically around -70 mV to -80 mV. Choice B of -60 mV falls within this range and is therefore a realistic measurement. Choice A of -240 mV is too low and not consistent with typical values, while choices C and D are much too high and outside the range of realistic measurements for a neuron's resting potential.
