There is a potential difference of about 70 mV between the outside and the inside of the cell membrane of a neuron. Which statement below concerning this situation is false? The outside is positive with respect to the inside. The potential difference is due to differences in the ionic concentration in the intracellular and extracellular fluids. Sodium ions are concentrated on the outside of the membrane while potassium ions are concentrated on the inside of the membrane. Protein ions concentrated on the inside of the membrane can freely move through the membrane in a passive manner.
