Which of the following statements about a resting transmembrane potential is true? A) If the sodium-potassium pump were blocked, the transmembrane potential would become greater. B) If the resting neuron were suddenly made permeable to positive ions, a transmembrane potential would not form. C) If the resting neuron had no voltage-activated K⁺ channels, K⁺ concentrations in cytoplasm would increase. D) If the voltage-activated Na⁺ channels are blocked, Na⁺ will not enter the cytoplasm of the neuron. E) If the cytosol developed a negative charge, the resting potential would disappear..
