Question

multiple choice question
because there is a negative charge along the inside of the cell membrane and a positive charge along the outside, the neurons cell membrane is said to be
depolarized
hyperpolarized
unpolarized
polarized

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

When there is a negative charge inside and a positive charge outside the neuron's cell - membrane, it is in a resting state with a potential difference across the membrane, which is called polarization. Depolarization is when the membrane potential becomes less negative. Hyperpolarization is when it becomes more negative. Unpolarized means no potential difference exists.

Answer:

D. polarized
