In its resting state, what is the relative concentration of ions inside and outside the cell membrane? (read carefully!) Group of answer choices There are more positively charged sodium ions outisde the cell and more negatively charged potassium ions inside the cell Sodium and Potassium ions concentrate outside the cell making the inside more positively charged than outside At rest there are equally charged particles inside and outside of the neuron There are more Na+ ions concentrated outside the cell and more K+ and negatively charged proteins inside the cell.

Which of the following statements is correct regarding ion concentrations across a neuronal membrane? 1) At resting potential, the outside of a neuron has a higher concentration of potassium (K+) ions than the inside 2) At resting potential, the outside of the neuron is negatively charged relative to the inside. 3) At resting potential, the inside of the neuron is negatively charged relative to the outside. 4) At resting potential, the outside and inside of a neuron have no charge differential
