  • False

Resting membrane potential of a cell

-70

what ion is readily permeable in plasma membrane and follows its concentration gradient until it reaches its equilibrium potential.

K+

what ion is readily impermeable to plasma membranes; only a small fraction of this ion crosses the membrane and takes its charge with it to help establish the resting membrane potential
