Question

Calculating resting membrane potential of a neuron

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The resting potential is determined by concentration gradients of ions across the membrane and by membrane permeability to each type of ion. In a resting neuron, there are concentration gradients across the membrane for Na+N, a, start superscript, plus, end superscript and K+K, start superscript, plus, end superscript.

Answer 2

The resting membrane potential. Imagine taking two electrodes and placing one on the outside and the other on the inside of the plasma membrane of a living cell. If you did this, you would measure an electrical potential difference, or voltage, between the electrodes.
