The Resting Membrane Potential Is

Question 9

Multiple Choice

The resting membrane potential is:


A) The same as the membrane equilibrium potential.
B) The voltage difference across a neuron's cell membrane,maintained by an unequal distribution of one specific ion.
C) Maintained by active transport of sodium ions (Na⁺) and potassium ions (K⁺) and passive diffusion of Na⁺,K⁺,and chloride ions (Cl-) through the cell membrane.
D) Typically measured at +70 millivolts (mV) because the intracellular environment is more positively charged than the extracellular environment.
E) Created by a more negative charge inside the membrane than outside because Na⁺ is continuously moved inside the cell membrane by an active transport pump.
