In a RESTING neuron, which of the following is true? In a RESTING neuron, which of the following is true? Na+ and K+ are both higher on the inside of the membrane. Na+ is higher on the inside of the membrane and K+ is higher on the outside. Na+ and K+ are both higher on the outside of the membrane. Na+ is higher on the outside of the membrane and K+ is higher on the inside..

At rest, a neuron has a lower concentration of sodium than the surrounding fluid: the neuron also has a higher concentration of potassium inside the cell. The sodium-potassium ion pump is used to maintain the neuron in the resting state. Which of the following states is true? Remaining at rest requires the use of ATP remaining at rest requires an input of sodium Remaining at rest requires the activation of cotransporters Remaining at rest requires decreased permeability of the membrane

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.
