What is the relationship between membrane potential and resting potential?
A) Membrane potential is the maximum charge difference that can be maintained by a neuron, and resting potential is the minimum charge difference.
B) Membrane potential is the typical force of osmosis on the plasma membrane of a neuron, and resting potential is this force when the neuron is in an isoosmotic solution.
C) Resting potential is the membrane potential of a neuron that is at rest.
D) Membrane potential is the charge outside a neuron, and resting potential is the charge inside a neuron.
