-ion that has the predominant influence on the resting membrane potential

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ion that has the predominant influence on the resting membrane potential is potassium (K⁺). The concentration of K⁺ inside the cell is much higher than outside, and this concentration gradient favors the movement of K⁺ out of the cell, resulting in a negative resting membrane potential.
