Physiology The resting membrane potential of a cell: A Is dependent on the permeability of the cell membrane to K+ being greater to Na+ B Falls to zero if Na+/K+ ATPase in membrane is inhibited C Is equal to the equilibrium potential for K+ D Is equal to the equilibrium potential of Na+ 💡 Explanation The resting membrane potential of a cell: ✓ Correct Answer: A. Is dependent on the permeability of the cell membrane to K+ being greater to Na+
