  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-007157",
  "term": "Membrane emf",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The electromotive force (emf) that develops across a semipermeable membrane due to differences in the concentrations or activities of ions on either side. This potential arises from the selective permeability of the membrane to certain ions. It is a key factor in biological systems and electrochemical sensors.",
