Review Note

The resting potential provides the energy necessary for electrical signaling in the nervous system. Identify the statement that accurately describes the resting potential.
A. All ion species contribute to a neurons resting potential.
B. The Nernst equation for potassium provides the best estimate for the resting potential.
C. The Goldman (Hodgkin, Katz) equation provides a close estimate of the resting potential because it weighs the contribution of multiple ions.Feedback: true
D. There are no ion channels associated with the resting potential.

C. The Goldman (Hodgkin, Katz) equation provides a close estimate of the resting potential because it weighs the contribution of multiple ions.
