When a neuron carries the electrical potential of -70 millivolts, it is in the state called RESTING POTENTIAL. At the resting stage of the neuron, the inside of the neuron is 70 millivolts less than the outside. At this stage, there are more sodium ions outside the neuron and more potassium ions inside the neuron.
Because it is an ecological problem that could be studied by modeling more easily than by observation or experimentation, because it occurs over a large area and a long period of time
