The membrane potential in animal cells, but not in plants, depends largely on resting K + channels.
Question:
The membrane potential in animal cells, but not in plants, depends largely on resting K+ channels. How do these channels contribute to the resting potential? Why are these channels considered to be nongated channels? How do these channels achieve selectivity for K+ versus Na+, which is smaller than K+?
