The Resting Mem Brane Potential

Question

The resting mem brane potential A) Is set by the Na,K -ATPase B) Depends on the permeabilities and equilibrium potentials of all ions C) Is closest to the equilibrium potential for Ca²⁺ D) Is the same for all cells E) Is the potential at which all ions are in equilibrium

Accepted Answer

The resting membrane potential is determined by the relative permeabilities of the membrane to different ions and their respective equilibrium potentials, primarily potassium (K+) and sodium (Na+).
