Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A polarized neuron, in its resting state, has a negative charge inside the cell relative to the outside. This is due to the distribution of ions across the neuron's membrane, primarily because of the higher concentration of potassium ions inside and sodium ions outside the cell.
