Summary:: What does this mean?
Discussion changed to meaning of words - moved from Biology
When a channel in a plasma membrane (or really anything else in everyday life) is "open to the outside" of the membrane (or wall), what does that mean? Does that mean if you're standing outside of it then you'll see it open for you to enter? Or it is open for things inside to leave? Is this a subjective term that differs between people? Or is it an established fact denoting one of those options? Similarly, what is "open to the inside" supposed to mean? Is this a problem with my English skills or is it a Biology problem
