Question

In a typical neuron, during the resting potential the inside of the axon has an electrical charge of aroundA)  +100 mV.B)  +50 mV.C)  0 mV.D)  -70 mV.

Scout Sanders · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  During the resting potential of a neuron, the inside of the axon has a negative charge relative to the outside, typically around -70 mV. This is due to the uneven distribution of ions, with more negatively charged ions inside the cell and more positively charged ions outside.
