Question

question the voltage that exists across the cell membrane when cells are not being stimulated in some way is called ______. answer zero potential depolarization graded potential resting membrane potential i dont know yet

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Zero potential: Not the term for unstimulated cell membrane voltage.
• Depolarization: Occurs during stimulation, not at rest.
• Graded potential: Related to small stimuli - induced changes, not resting state.
• Resting membrane potential: Defined as the voltage across the cell membrane when the cell is not stimulated.

Answer:

D. resting membrane potential
