When a neuron is resting the inside of the cell membrane is?
When a neuron is resting then inside of the cell membrane is more negative than outside.
When a neuron's resting potential is occurring the neuron is what charge on the inside?
resting potiental
What do resting and action potentials depend on?
The resting and action potentials depend on the balance of charges of the area outside the neuron and inside the neuron. A resting potential is when the neuron is more negatively (approximately -70mv) charged than the area outside the neuron. The action potential occurs when sodium ions rush into the neuron, causing the polarity to be reversed. When there is no difference in charge between the area inside the neuron and the area outside the neuron, no action potentials can be started by that neuron.
What is restpotential?
The resting membrane potential of a neuron is about -70 mV (mV=millivolt) - this means that the inside of the neuron is 70 mV less than the outside. At rest, there are relatively more sodium ions outside the neuron and more potassium ions inside that neuron.
What is the chief positive intracellular ion in a resting neuron?
The chief positive intracellular ion in a resting neuron is a potassium ion. Just inside the cell of a resting neuron, the membrane is negative.

The chief positive intracellular ion in a resting neuron is a potassium ion. Just inside the cell of a resting neuron, the membrane is negative.
Which condition is a neuron in when the outside of the neuron has a net positive charge and the inside has a negative charge?
resting potiental
If the inside of the neuron is negatively charged compared to the outside the neuron is in the?
If it's approximately -70 mV, then it's in a resting state.
What is the charge on the inside membrane during the resting membrane potential?
The resting membrane potential of a typical neuron is around -65mV
It is the membrane potential of a neuron at rest?
Yes,the membrane potential of a neuron is at rest because it is the difference in electrical charge between inside and outside a resting neuron.
Is the resting potential of a neuron 50-100 mV with the inside of the cell more negative than the outside?
It depends on what the sign is before your number. A positive sign in front of the number indicates that the inside of the cell is more positive when compared to the outside; a negative sign in front of the number indicates that the cell is more negative compared to the outside. The resting potential of a neuron is always negative when compared to the outside of the neuron, and usually lies around -90mV. For different cells in the body, the resting potential may vary but it will always be negative :)!
The state during which a neuron contains more negatively charged ions inside the cell than outside the cell and is not firing is referred to as the?
resting potential
What is a resting motor neuron expected to do?
exhibit a resting potential that is more negative than the "threshold" potential
