According to the "Study Tip" table, which characteristic is associated with a resting potential?

  • A: It occurs only in the cell body.
  • B: It occurs in both the cell body and the axon.
  • C: It has variable strength.
  • D: It does not occur in the axon.

Explanation

The "Study Tip" table explicitly states for "Electrical Resting" potential that it "Occurs in cell body? Yes," "Occurs in axon? Yes," and "Variable strength? No." Therefore, the correct statement is that it occurs in both the cell body and the axon.
