Resting membrane potentialA) Small change in the resting membrane potential confined to a small areaB) Charge difference across the plasma membrane when the cell is in an unstimulated stateC) Larger change in resting membrane potential that spreads over entire surface of a cellD) Membrane becomes more positive when Na + diffuse into cellE) Return to the resting membrane potential

Question

Resting membrane potentialA) Small change in the resting membrane potential confined to a small areaB) Charge difference across the plasma membrane when the cell is in an unstimulated stateC) Larger change in resting membrane potential that spreads over entire surface of a cellD) Membrane becomes more positive when Na +  diffuse into cellE) Return to the resting membrane potential

Preston Rossi · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Resting membrane potential refers to the charge difference across the plasma membrane when the cell is in an unstimulated state, indicating a stable state of the cell when it is not actively sending signals.
