Interpretation:
To state which side is positive and which side is negative for the membrane permeable only to
Concept introduction:
The cell membranes are polarized electrically. The membrane potential is the difference in charges across the membranes. The equilibrium can be achieved when both electrical and concentration gradients balance each other.
Interpretation:
To state which side is positive and which side is negative for the membrane equally permeable to both ions.
