The resting membrane potential is:

A. The same as the membrane equilibrium potential. B. The voltage difference across a neuron's cell membrane, maintained by an unequal distribution of one specific ion. C. Maintained by active transport of sodium ions (Na+) and potassium ions (K+) and passive diffusion of Na+, K+, and chloride ions (Cl–) through the cell membrane. D. Typically measured at +70 millivolts (mV) because the intracellular environment is more positively charged than the extracellular environment. E. Created by a more negative charge inside the membrane than outside because Na+ is continuously moved inside the cell membrane by an active transport pump.
