Difference between Cell membrane and Membrane potential

Cell membrane vs. Membrane potential

The cell membrane (also known as the plasma membrane or cytoplasmic membrane, and historically referred to as the plasmalemma) is a biological membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment (the extracellular space). The term "membrane potential" may refer to one of three kinds of membrane potential.

Similarities between Cell membrane and Membrane potential

Cell membrane and Membrane potential have 14 things in common (in Unionpedia): Active transport, Cell (biology), Diffusion, Eukaryote, Facilitated diffusion, Integral membrane protein, Ion, Ion channel, Ion transporter, Lipid bilayer, Myocyte, Neuron, Passive transport, Transmembrane protein.

Active transport

Active transport is the movement of molecules across a membrane from a region of their lower concentration to a region of their higher concentration—in the direction against the concentration gradient.

Cell (biology)

The cell (from Latin cella, meaning "small room") is the basic structural, functional, and biological unit of all known living organisms.

Diffusion

Diffusion is the net movement of molecules or atoms from a region of high concentration (or high chemical potential) to a region of low concentration (or low chemical potential) as a result of random motion of the molecules or atoms.

Eukaryote

Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells have a nucleus enclosed within membranes, unlike Prokaryotes (Bacteria and other Archaea).

Facilitated diffusion

Facilitated diffusion (also known as facilitated transport or passive-mediated transport) is the process of spontaneous passive transport (as opposed to active transport) of molecules or ions across a biological membrane via specific transmembrane integral proteins.

Integral membrane protein

An integral membrane protein (IMP) is a type of membrane protein that is permanently attached to the biological membrane.

Ion

An ion is an atom or molecule that has a non-zero net electrical charge (its total number of electrons is not equal to its total number of protons).

Ion channel

Ion channels are pore-forming membrane proteins that allow ions to pass through the channel pore.

Ion transporter

In biology, an ion transporter (or ion pump) is a transmembrane protein that moves ions across a plasma membrane against their concentration gradient through active transport.

Lipid bilayer

The lipid bilayer (or phospholipid bilayer) is a thin polar membrane made of two layers of lipid molecules.

Myocyte

A myocyte (also known as a muscle cell) is the type of cell found in muscle tissue.

Neuron

A neuron, also known as a neurone (British spelling) and nerve cell, is an electrically excitable cell that receives, processes, and transmits information through electrical and chemical signals.

Passive transport

Passive transport is a movement of ions and other atomic or molecular substances across cell membranes without need of energy input.

Transmembrane protein

A transmembrane protein (TP) is a type of integral membrane protein that spans the entirety of the biological membrane to which it is permanently attached.

Cell membrane and Membrane potential Comparison

Cell membrane has 170 relations, while Membrane potential has 96. As they have in common 14, the Jaccard index is 5.26% = 14 / (170 + 96).
