Question
Chapter 6, Problem B.5RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The two factors that are involved in ion diffusion determine the magnitude of the resting membrane potential.
Introduction: Action potentials are created by a particular variety of voltage-gated ion channels implanted in the cellular plasma membrane. The membrane potential in steady-state conditions where the flow of ions becomes positively or negatively charged across the plasma membrane is stabilized, as there is no further difference in charge accumulation across the membrane. It is called as resting membrane potential.
