Ions other than K⁺ play no role in generating the resting membrane potential of a cell.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Other ions such as Na⁺ and Cl⁻ also play a role in generating the resting membrane potential of a cell. The movement of these ions in and out of the cell, facilitated by ion channels and pumps, helps to establish and maintain the resting potential. However, K⁺ is the most important ion in determining the magnitude of the resting potential as it is the ion with the highest permeability in most cells.
