So I came across this question, but I am confused about their explanation to why the answer is not B, because I thought it was the voltage gated sodium-potassium pump that maintains the resting membrane potential? I feel like I'm missing some sort of big picture here but I don't know what.
Which ion channels are responsible for maintaining the resting membrane potential?
A. Ungated channels
B. Voltage-gated channels
C. Ligand-gated channels
D. No ion channels are involved in maintenance of...
