Step 1
The average resting membrane potential for neurons is indeed around -70 mV. This negative value indicates that the inside of the neuron is more negative compared to the outside. Show more…

Which of the following statements about resting potential is true? A resting membrane allows much more sodium than potassium to diffuse across. The concentration of sodium is much higher inside the cell than outside. The resting potential exists because of differences in glucose concentration inside and outside the cell. The sodium-potassium pump contributes to the resting membrane potential.

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.

B) There is a higher concentration of potassium ions in the intracellular fluid. C) An action potential begins at a membrane potential of 0 mV. D) Peripheral neurons have a different transmembrane potential than central neurons. E) The electrical potential inside a neuron is the same as outside.
