The cell is the base building block of life which all living organisms possess. The number of cells which make up a living organism range from one to many billions, as is the case with humans. Cells come in many different types and serve a wide variety of functions. All of them share some common characteristics including having an outer membrane and a nucleus containing DNA and RNA, the ability to create protiens, and the ability to replicate. A sample diagram of a cell is shown in Figure 1. The cell consists of many different organelles, which each serve some function to the cell, surrounded by an electrolyte solution and contained by a cell membrane. In this work, the two most important aspects of the cell are the cell membrane and the electrolyte solution which it encloses. The cell membrane serves as the boundary and regulates the intake (endocytosis) and expulsion (exocytosis) of particles from the cell. It contains many different parts including ion channels and pumps, proteins and lipid molecules. A schematic of a lipid molecule is shown in Figure 2. Lipid molecules are amphiphiles, which means that they have a dual affinity to water, that consist of a hydrophobic tail connected to a polar hydrophillic head group. The head group may have either positive or negative charge depending on its specific chemical structure and both types can occur in the same cellular membrane. When placed in water at a sufficient concentration, the lipid molecules will arrange in such a way to minimize the tails groups contact area with the water and vice versa for the head. For a cell membrane, the lipid molecules form a bilayer, as shown in figure 2. The solution directly inside or outside the cell consists of an electrolyte, which is an electrically conducting medium. The electrolyte contains both positive and negative ions in water. The ions present typically include sodium(Na), potassium(K), calcium(Ca), chloride(Cl−), bicarbonate(HCO3 −), and phosphate(PO4 3−). The concentration of ions on either side of the cell membrane is generally different, which leads to an electrical potential difference across the membrane. This potential difference has been experimentally measured to be approximately 70 mV. The charge outside the cell is net positive and the charge inside is net negative. It’s known that
