B Based on all the charges around a neuronal membrane, the resting membrane potential is closer to that of the potassium ion equilibrium potential than it is to the sodium ion potential. This is because the potassium equilibrium potential is enhanced by the presence of proteins potassium has a stronger charge the electrochemical force of potassium is stronger potassium's concentration gradient is much larger the membrane is more permeable to potassium

Osmosis

In simple words, osmosis is the slow, gradual movement of a liquid through a membrane. But there are nuances to this process. For instance, there has to be an imbalance in the distribution of solute in the liquid on either side of the membrane, which has to be semipermeable. The liquid in the region with a lower solute concentration moves to the region with a higher concentration, thereby displacing the solution in the process. The objective is to equalize the concentration of molecules on both sides of the membrane; the displacement of liquid can be viewed as a byproduct of this equalization. Since there is no energy required to carry osmosis, it is considered a passive process.
