In a neuron at rest, there is a difference in the electrical charge across the cell membrane, with the inside of the cell being more negative than the outside. This is primarily due to: a) secondary active transport of Na+ b) the difference in the concentrations of Na+ inside and outside of the cell c) simple diffusion of K+ ions d) leak channels increasing the permeability of the membrane to K+ ions e) facilitated diffusion of Na+ ions
