Concept of Resting Potential(RP) a potential difference across the cell membrane at the rest stage or when the cell is not stimulated Property: It is constant or stable It is negative inside relative to the outside Resting potentials are different in different cells10 Concept of Resting Potential (RP) ➢ A potential difference across the cell membrane at the rest stage or when the cell is not stimulated. ➢ Property: ➢ It is constant or stable ➢ It is negative inside relative to the outside ➢ Resting potentials are different in different cells
