How does the sodium and potassium pump act to maintain the resting membrane potential?
Primary active transport is the process in which ions are moved across cell membranes against the electrochemical gradient using energy supplied directly be ATP. The action of the sodium-potassium pump is an important example of primary active transport.Secondary active transport is indirectly driven by primary transport. In the sodium-potassium pump, by pumping against the gradient, energy is stored in the ion gradient. Then, just as water pumped uphill can do the work as it flows back down, (think water wheel or turbine), a substance pumped across the membrane can do work as it leaks back, propelled downhill along the concentration gradient.
In facilitated diffusion do molecules move down concentration gradient?
Without using the cell's energy
How is the cell in Diagram B effectively using its resources?
Diagram B Because there is no lactose present. Where is diagram B?
Can you plant a lawn after using sodium chlorate weedkiller on the ground or is it just vegetables?
You cant plant anything for six months after using Sodium Chlorate weedkiller. Or at least you can but it wont grow.
What is an example of active transport using physiological processes in the human body?
diffusion occurs naturally facilitated diffusion and active transport need energy
How do you write a sentence using gradient?
these tiles are gradient.
How do you apply the gradient formula in real life problems?
real life using of gradient
How to calculate the gradient from the non linear graph?
Draw a tangent to the curve at the point where you need the gradient and find the gradient of the line by using gradient = up divided by across
What characterizes the sodium-potassium pump?
The sodium-potassium pump is extremely important, especially in your nerve cells (neurons). The pump has 3 binding cites for sodium ions, and 2 binding cites for potassium ions. It uses these binding cites to pump sodium to the outside of a membrane and potassium to the inside. This an example of using ATP (energy) to go against the concentration gradient.
How do you work out a gradient using a calculator?
you cant
What is the composition of lactose?
Lactose (C12H22O11), which is known to some as milk sugar, is a disaccharide. You can view its chemical structure by using the link which is provided to surf over to the Wikipedia article on lactose.

How to find the gradient and the divergence using the curvilinear coordinates?
english?
How do you use the gradient tool in Adobe Illustrator?
Gradients in Adobe Illustrator are a little tricky to figure out. Once your object is created, you need to click the gradient button at the bottom of the toolbar and then you can adjust the colors and angles using the gradient palette window and the gradient tool on the toolbar.
How do you find the gradient of a line using y equals 7x plus 2?
When the equation is given in the standard form: y = mx + c, the gradient is m. So here, y = 7x + 2 means m, the gradient, is 7.
Are there any other compounds that can be formed by using sodium and chlorine gas other than sodium chloride?
There is sodium hypochlorite, sodium chlorite, sodium chlorate and sodium perchlorate
How do you calculate the slope of a graph?
Using limits and the basic gradient formula: rise/run.
