A high sodium ion gradient is maintained outside the cell while a high potassium ion gradient is maintained on the inside of the cell via the sodium-potassium exchange occurring in and out of the cell because of an enzyme on the cell membrane. The most important ions in the extracellular fluid are the mentioned potassium (K+) and sodium (Na+) ions, as well as calcium (Ca+), chloride (Cl-), and Hydrogen carbonate (HCO-)

What is an important mineral ion of the cytochrome pigments of cellular respiration?
An important mineral ion of the cytochrome pigments of cellular respiration is Iron. An important mineral ion that is a component of chloroplasts and stabilizer of membranes and ribosomes is Magnesium .
What is the most abundant anion in extracellular fluid?
Extracellular fluid refers to all body fluid outside of cells. The most abundant anion in the extracellular fluid is chloride (Cl-).
What is the Most abundant positive electrolyte in extracellular fluid?
Sodium ion is the most concentrated ion in the extracellular fluid.
What stages in cellular respiration are affected by cyanide and hydrogen sulfide?
The cyanide ion halts cellular respiration by inhibiting an enzyme in the mitochondria
What charge does fluorine acquire when making an ion?
fluorine ion has a charge of -1, it has an extra elctron
What is the hydronium ion and its formular?
The hydronium ion is simply the water ion with an extra proton. (H+) So: H2O + H+ ---> H3O+
Which organ is responsible the bodys water balance?
Osmoregulatory organs besides the kidney play important roles in body fluid-ion balance.
What regulate sodium ion concentrations in the extracellular fluid?
Kidneys are the main organs, witch manage electrolytes balance, water balance, acid base balance, help regulation of blood pressure through rennin angiotensin aldosterone mechanism and attach hydrogen atom to position one to make active form of it. It also secrete the hormone called "Erythropoitin", witch stimulates formation of red blood cells. You have about 0.150 mole of sodium chloride in extra cellular fluid with calcium in much lower concentration and potassium chloride in intro cellular fluid in about 0.150 mole concentration with magnesium in very low concentration.
How does NAD gain energy in cellular respiration?
it lose a hydrogen ion and one electron
Where is the Power Steering Fluid located on a 2003 Saturn Ion?
there is no fluid, they have electric power steering.
How do you change transmission fluid on a Saturn ion automatic?
no 120,000
Does Electrolytes regulate sodium ion concentrations in the extracellular fluid?
Electrolytes do not regulate anything. They fallow the rules of Nature. Yes. Kidney is the main organ, witch manage electrolytes balance, water balance, acid base balance, help regulation of blood pressure through rennin angiotensin aldosterone mechanism and attach hydrogen atom to position one to make active form of it. It also secrete the hormone called "Erythropoitin", witch stimulates formation of red blood cells. You have about 0.150 mole of sodium chloride in extra cellular fluid with calcium in much lower concentration and potassium chloride in intro cellular fluid in about 0.150 mole concentration with magnesium in very low concentration.
