An almost insignificant fraction of the total number of charged particles present in the body fluids is responsible for the membrane potential.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is true. The membrane potential is typically caused by the movement of ions such as sodium, potassium, and chloride across the cell membrane, but only a small fraction of the total number of charged particles in body fluids is involved in this process. The majority of ions in body fluids are in solution and do not contribute to the membrane potential.
