What is the resting potential of the plasma membrane of a neuron?

What is the resting potential of the plasma membrane of a neuron?
  1. The electrical potential difference across the resting plasma membrane when the membrane is in a polarised state.
  2. The electrical potential difference across the plasma membrane when the neuron is conducting an impulse.
  3. The electrical potential difference across the plasma membrane when the membrane is in a depolarised state.
  4. The electrical potential difference across the plasma membrane when the membrane is in a non-polarised state.

Solution

The resting potential of the plasma membrane of a neuron is the electrical potential difference across the resting plasma membrane when the membrane is in a polarised state.
