Step 1
A membrane made up of a lipid bilayer with proteins incorporated in it surrounds all animal cells. The membrane acts as an insulator as well as a diffusion barrier for ions moving across it. The difference in electric potential between the interior and exterior of a biological cell is known as the membrane potential.
