It is due to the impalance of, most commonly, Na & K ions. This equilibrium is established by the Na/K Exchanger.

During depolarization does the neurons membrane become negative?
Yes. Positive ions (sodium) move across the membrane.
What would be the most immediate effect of doubling the number of Na leakage channels in the plasma membrane?
The resting membrane potential would become less negative (more positive).
When you lose something positive you become?
When you lose something positive you become negative.
What is a positive and negative ion?
when an atom loose electron it become negative ion and when it gains electron it become positive ion
Does boron become positive or negative when it loses electrons?
All atoms become positive ions when they lose electrons, and negative when they gain electrons.

When multiplying negative integers does it become negative or positive?
Negative times negative equals positive.
Is a negative subtract a negative a positive?
Yes. A negative subtracted by a negative is a positive. Just remember that two like signs become a positive sign, and two unlike signs become a negative sign.
Why negative into negative equals positive?
Its like reversing the procedure of minus. For example, in -(-1) , you are actually inverting the minus sign with the minus sign outside the bracket to become a positive 1. So in general, -(-x) is equal to x. well every time you see negative x negative gives you a positive. and a negative time a positive makes it negative. here are some examples: (-) (-)= (+), (-) (+)= (-)
When we lose something negative you become?
When we lose something negative you become positive.
When you lose something positive you become?
When you lose something positive you become negative.
How do you change a negative number into a decimal?
You divide the negative number by a positive number for it to stay positive. And you divide the negative number by a negative number for it to become positive.
Why multiplication of negative numbers equals positive?
When you multiply any number by a negative number you reverse its sign. So positive numbers become negative, and negative numbers become positive. That is the meaning of negative multiplication; it is reversal. This is similar to the way that adding a negative number has the same effect as subtracting a positive number. Negative is the opposite of positive.
What is a positive and negative ion?
when an atom loose electron it become negative ion and when it gains electron it become positive ion
Why does negative times negative give a positive result?
2 negatives equal a positive or if you multiply a negative by a positive it is larger negative if you multiply a negative and a negative it become positive because doing something negative times is getting bigger
Why does a positive ion bond with a negative ion?
To become more stable: positive+negative=neutral. Neutral is more stable than positive and/or negative.
