Document Summary

Cells can be electrically neutral because of membranes that exist in the body. Your cells are electrically neutral unless something triggers the ions inside to change their concentrations. I: flow (current) of energy from one point to another. Electrical potential is determined by the flow of energy from one point to another as well as the resistance of this flow. Resistors in a cell could be channels or other properties of the membrane that cause resistance of flow. There can be resistance outside of a cell, resistance within the membrane, as well as resistance inside the cell. Flow (current) of energy from one point to another also depends on length constant of the membrane (proportional to resistance), radius (inversely proportional to resistance), and capacitance (proportional to membrane area and thickness) Capacitance: quantity of charge needed to create a potential difference between two surfaces of the capacitor. Ion pump: voltage-gated channel, all of the above , none of the above.
