Question

in its resting state, a neuron is said to be
○ hyperpolarized.
○ depolarized.
○ hypopolarized.
○ firing.
○ polarized.

Explanation:

In the resting state, a neuron has a stable negative - charge difference across its membrane, which is called polarization. Hyperpolarization is when the membrane potential becomes more negative than the resting potential. Depolarization is when the membrane potential becomes less negative. Hypopolarization is not a standard term in this context, and firing refers to the neuron generating an action potential. A resting neuron is polarized.

Answer:

polarized.
