Yes, some quantity of energy is needed to maintain and develop resting potential of cell's membrane during the stages 1 and 2 of resting potential forming

Cell uses energy of ATP at these stages for sodium potassium pump to create difference in K and Na ion concentration inside the cell and outside. For transportation 2 ions of potassium inside and 3 sodium ions outside the cell one molecule of ATP is needed

What is the charge on the inside membrane during the resting membrane potential?

The resting membrane potential of a typical neuron is around -65mV


In the absence of stimuli all cells in the body maintain a potential difference across the semipermeable membrane in which the inside of the cell is negatively charged in comparison to the outside?

resting membrane potential


If a resting potential becomes more negative what happens to the cell?

When the membrane potential becomes more negative it is being hyperpolarized. Remember the resting membrane potential is already at a negative state (~70mV). So if you are making a comparison of a membrane potential that is hyperpolarized in comparison to a resting membrane potential, the resting membrane potential is said to be more depolarized.When the membrane potential becomes more positive it is called depolarization.


What about a cell's resting membrane potential is FALSE?

The resting membrane potential is maintained by solely by passive transport processes.

During an action potential hyperpolarization beyond more negative to the resting membrane potential is primarily due to?

Potential hyperpolarization are more negative to the resting membrane potential because of voltage. This is taught in biology.
