Action potential is a short-lasting event in which the electrical membrane potential of a cell rapidly rises and falls, following a consistent trajectory. Action potentials occur in several types of animal cells, which include neurons, muscle cells, and endocrine cells, as well as in some plant cells. In neurons, they play a central role in cell-to-cell communication.

What is a difference in electric charge called?

The chemical gradient refers to the imbalance of substances across the membrane. The Electrical Gradient refers to the difference of charges between substances on different sides of the Membrane.
