Value of resting membrane potential is_____________?
Correct answer: C. 0.07 V
- A. 0.03 V
- B. 0.05 V
- C. 0.07 V
- D. 0.09V
Explanation
The resting membrane potential of a typical neuron is about -0.07 V, meaning the inside is approximately 0.07 V more negative than the outside. Students may choose 0.05 V because membrane potentials vary among cells, but 0.07 V is the standard textbook value intended here.
