1. What causes the inside of the cell to be more negative compared to the outside of the cell? Resting Potential, Action Potential

Resting potential

Explanation:

This is because , the resting potential is negative in side of the cell because it has more negative charge inside than outside due to accumulation of alot of sodium and potassium ions. when an axon is at rest in the cell, the anions produce negative charge, the sodium pumps eject sodium out of the cell and potassium is injected in, and the sodium gates and potassium gates are all closed.
