What is the main role of mineral salts in the making of electric tension (or voltage) at cellular level?

The electric activity of the cell, for illustration, in neurons, based on the distinct concentrations of negative and positive ions between the outer and inner surfaces of the cell membrane. Mineral salts are accountable for that voltage.

The cell membrane of non-excited cell has generally a negative inner side and a positive outer side. Such electrical condition is maintained by ion transport across the membrane.
