Which of the following BEST explains the inside negative potential in resting neurons? sodium flows down its electrochemical gradient through sodium-selective channels that are open in resting neurons membrane transporters produce a large sodium concentration gradient by selectively accumulating sodium ions outside the cell the membrane of a resting neuron is more permeable to potassium ions than to other ions present a larger concentration of chloride ions are found inside the cell making the inside of the cell more negative compared to the outside of the cell
