Is sodium chloride passive transport or an active transport?
Active because concentration in cells must remain hight than in the blood.
What is 2 drops of sodium chloride?
This depends on: - the volume of the drop - the concentration of sodium chloride solution
What is the concentration of a solution with a volume of 660 that contains 33.4 grams out aluminum chloride?
The concentration is 50,6 g/L.
Is proteins the major extra cellular anion?
No; the major extracellular anion is chloride.
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.
Whenever sodium ions are reabsorbed through the wall of the renal tubule be active transport chloride ions are?
reabsorbed by active transport
What is the concentration of sodium chloride for haemolysis to occur in transport membranes?
ii dun knw
What is the the substances reabsorbed in the DCT?
Sodium and Chloride
Is sodium chloride passive transport or an active transport?
Active because concentration in cells must remain hight than in the blood.
Mechanisms of tubular reabsorption include what?
Reabsorption of nutrients in the renal tubule occurs via active transport and facilitated diffusion. Amino acids, glucose and phosphates are reabsorbed at the proximal convoluted tubule via active transport. Water and sodium chloride is reabsorbed at the loop of henle via facilitated diffusion.
What can sodium chloride do?
It can dehydrate a fruit or vegetable by passive transport. The higher concentration of water goes to the lower concentration and thereby "sucking" the water out of fruits and vegetables.
What are the cellular components of cerebrospinal fluid?
The cerebrospinal fluid contains a high concentration of sodium and chloride. It has small amounts of potassium, calcium, glucose and protein.
To maintain solute concentration gradient in the renal medulla what is required?
active transport of sodium and chloride ions from the ascending limb of the loop of Henle.
How much does water weigh with sodium chloride together?
This depends on the sodium chloride concentration; higher the concentration, higher the density.
What is chloride solution?
This solution contain a specified concentration of sodium chloride.
What is sodium chloride solution?
This solution contain a specified concentration of sodium chloride.
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE SODIUM AND CHLORIDE IF THE SALT WATER IS HEATED?
The concentration of sodium chloride increase.
