Question

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.
