The diagram shows an example of a cell membrane with ions and molecules on both sides. The concentration of ions/molecules is different on each side, creating a concentration gradient. In addition, some of the ions have a positive or negative charge, creating a charge gradient. Therefore, both concentration and charge gradients would be present across the membrane.
