Resting Cell Question.?

Question

The resting cell has a membrane potential which is negative. This membrane potential is a result of:
A.Diffusion of negative ions into the cell
B.The difference between 2 K+ pimped in and 3 NA+ pumped out.
C.Osmosis of 3 negative ions in and 2 positive ions out.
D. The filtration of glucose and other large molecules
E. Cell eating( Phagocytosis) and drinking (pinocytosis)

10 pts to correct answer.

B should read B.The difference between 2 K+ pumped in and 3 NA+ pumped out. NOT B.The difference between 2 K+ pimped in and 3 NA+ pumped out.

Answer 1

(B) is the answer
I don't know about the pimping part though :-)

Answer 2

membrane potential

The potential inside a cell membrane measured relative to the fluid just outside; it is negative under resting conditions and becomes positive during an action potential.
