Syn: transmembrane p.) Wikipedia, Jan. 23, 2015 (Membrane potential (also transmembrane potential or membrane voltage) is the difference in electric potential between the interior and the exterior of a biological cell. ... Typical membrane potentials in animal cells are on the order of 100 millivolts (that is, one tenth of a volt), but calculations show that this generates an electric field close to the maximum that the membrane can sustain ... ) Journal of membrane science, Apr. 15, 2000: p. 259 (An analysis of partially film-controlled membrane potentials of weak cation exchange membranes using the space-charge model ... Membrane potentials of weak acid ion exchange membranes separating almost neutral (pH = 5.7) solutions of NaCl, KCl and LiCl are studied both experimentally and theoretically) |
