Select the TRUE statement about a resting neuron. a.) The cytoplasm side of a neuron is positively charged while the outside of
the neuron has no charge. b.) The cytoplasm side of a neuron is negatively charged while the outside of the neuron is also negatively charged. c.) The cytoplasm side of a neuron is more negative than the outside of the neuron. d.) The cytoplasm side of a neuron is more positive than the outside of the neuron.
Given what we know about the nervous system and resting neurons, we can confirm the cytoplasm side of a resting neuron is more negative than the outside of the neuron.
<h3>What is a neuron?</h3>
Neurons are specialized cells that make up the nervous system in the body.
Their primary function is to act as messengers, delivering information in the form of electrical impulses and neurotransmitters.
These neurons work using rapid shifts in membrane potentials.
In order to do this, the starting value or resting point of the membrane is negativelycharged.
Therefore, we can confirm that since neurons function using shifts in membrane potentials, the starting point or resting form of a neuron has a negatively charged membrane, meaning that the cytoplasm side of a resting neuron is more negative than the outside of the neuron.
