The maintenance of a resting membrane potential is due to three factors:(1) The concentration of K+ the membrane is than that the membrane.(2) The concentration of Na+ the membrane is than that the membrane.(3) The membrane is permeable to K+ than Na+.

The resting membrane potential depends on two main factors that influence the magnitude and direction of Na+ and K+ diffusion across the plasmid membrane.What are these two factors?

Resting membrane potential:Is the process by which cells communicateResults in the outside of the cell having a -70mV polarity relative to the inside.Is maintained by the sodium/potassium ATPase pump continuously pumping Na+ into the cellResults in high concentrations of Na+ on the outside of the cell

Reestablishment of the resting membrane potential occurs throughMultiple ChoiceActive transport of sodium and potassium ionsDiffusion of sodium and potassium ionsActive transport of only sodium ionsActive transport of only potassium ions

Resting membrane potentials are important to neuron function because they:conserve energyprovide potential for future electrical communicationincrease the potassium levels outside the cellresult in high concentrations of sodium inside the cell
