A)is not influenced by channels formed by proteins.
B)is the same in all cell types.
C)is affected by differences in electrical charge on the two sides of the membrane.
D)is zero in all living cells.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The permeability of the plasma membrane to mineral ions is significantly influenced by the electrical charge difference across the membrane, which can attract or repel ions, thus affecting their movement through the membrane.
