mV is a measurement for membrane potential. What are we measuring when looking at potential energy generated?
A
Current
B
Resistance
C
Influx
D
Voltage
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Typical values of membrane potential are in the range –70 mV to –40 mV.

Detailed explanation-2: -The difference between the concentration of molecules and charge inside and outside a cell is known as membrane potential. The membrane potential of a cell is measured in voltage or volts (V), like electricity. Only the voltage is much smaller, so millivolts (mV) are used, where 1000 mV = 1V.
