The American colonies were not allowed any representatives in the British Parliament. They felt that it was unconstitutional for the Parliament to place taxes and laws on them without representation.
Conventionally, resting membrane potential can be defined as a relatively stable, ground value of transmembrane voltage in animal and plant cells.he resting potential is mostly determined by the concentrations of the ions in the fluids on both sides of the cell membrane and the ion transport proteins that are in the cell membrane.
Sodium and chloride also help to determine the resting potential. Sodium is positive and has a concentration gradient set up to flow INTO the cell, and chloride is negative and has a concentration gradient set up to flow INTO the cell. The resting conductance for these two ions is less than that of potassium, but is not zero. Their story (concentration gradient + electrical gradient) is very similar to that of potassium. These ions together determine the resting potential of the cell.
