Which of the following is NOT true of the resting membrane potential?
A)Potassium ions are concentrated inside the cell.
B)Sodium ions are concentrated outside the cell.
C)The membrane is freely permeable to sodium ions.
D)Large,negatively charged proteins are inside the cell.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The resting membrane potential is maintained by the unequal distribution of ions across the cell membrane, with potassium ions being concentrated inside the cell and sodium ions being concentrated outside the cell. The membrane is not freely permeable to sodium ions, as their movement is regulated by ion channels. Large, negatively charged proteins are also present inside the cell and contribute to the negative charge of the resting membrane potential.
