When K⁺ Ions Diffuse Out of a Resting Neuron Through

Multiple Choice

When K⁺ ions diffuse out of a resting neuron through open potassium leak channels and leave behind unbalanced negative charges that create a negative membrane potential, that pulls K⁺ back into the neuron.The membrane potential at which the diffusion of K⁺ out of the cell is balanced by the pull of K⁺ into the cell is called the potassium
