If Mary's neurons were never able to achieve a resting potential more positive than -70 millivolts,____.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The resting potential of a neuron is typically around -70mV, and this negative charge is necessary to allow for the neuron to fire an action potential. If the resting potential is never able to get more positive than -70mV, the neuron will never reach the threshold required to generate an action potential. Therefore, choice B is the correct answer.
