The resting membrane potential… A) Can be approximated using the Nernst equation. B) Is established by a difference in charges across the cell membrane, with the inside more positive than the outside. C) Has no influence on the driving force for flow of a particular ion across the cell membrane. D) Is more dependent on the passive flow of potassium vs. sodium ions through leak channels across the cell membrane. E) Stays the same during an action potential.
