Question

A polarized cell Group of answer choices has a charge imbalance across its membrane. includes most cells of the body. exhibits a membrane potential. includes most cells of the body and exhibits a membrane potential.
A) True
B) False

Answer 1

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

The unequal distribution of ions inside and outside of the cell makes the membrane potential of the cell. The potential is important for the conduction of the impulse and generation of the action potential.

The resting membrane potential of the nerve impulse is maintained by the presence of large potassium ions inside the cell. The resting membrane potential is -70mV. The depolarization of the membrane occurs due to influx of the sodium ions.

Thus, the answer is true.
