Questions and Answers

What is the main function of the unequal distribution of ions on both sides of the cell membrane?

  • Creating the electrical property of the cell membrane (resting membrane potential, RMP) (correct)
  • Regulating the osmotic pressure within the cell
  • Aiding in the synthesis of ATP within the cell
  • Facilitating the movement of water across the cell membrane
