Membrane potential is the difference in electrical charge across the plasma membrane, due to the differential distribution of ions, which affects cellular activity and the movement of charged substances.
El potencial de membrana es la diferencia de carga eléctrica a través de la membrana plasmática, debida a la distribución diferencial de iones, que afecta la actividad celular y el movimiento de sustancias cargadas.
