1.	Question : Compare the following: (b) Resting potential and Action potential :
Answer» Solution :(b) Resting POTENTIAL : The electrical potential difference across the resting plasma membrane is called the resting potential. ACTION potential : When a stimulus is applied at a site on the POLARISED membrane, the membrane at the site becomes FREELY permeable to `Na^(+)`. The electrical potential difference across the plasma membrane at the site of stimulus is called the Action potential.
