D) neutrally

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The resting potential of a neuron is typically around -70 millivolts, which means that the inside of the neuron is negatively charged relative to the outside. This is due to the distribution of ions across the cell membrane, with more positively charged ions (such as potassium) on the inside and more negatively charged ions (such as chloride) on the outside.
