All of the following statements about resting membrane potential (RMP) are correct except: - While RMP is maintained, there are many open potassium channels. - The sodium-potassium pump actively transports ions. - Neurons are negatively charged inside compared to outside. - K+ passively diffuses out faster than Na+ diffuses in. - The internal potassium concentration is around 5 mM.

Which of the following is true during the resting membrane potential? None of these choices reflect what occurs during the resting membrane potential. Sodium ion concentration is greater inside cells. Negatively charged proteins are more concentrated outside the cell. Potassium is concentrated primarily inside the cell.

Which of the following statements about resting membrane potential is true? The resting membrane potential for most animal cells is negative because the inside of the cell is more negatively charged than the outside of the cell.
