Are electrolytes inside cells?
Some electrolytes tend to exist mostly inside cells, or are intracellular, while others tend to be outside cells, or are extracellular
The intracellular fluid compartment includes all water and electrolytes enclosed by a?
cell membrane
What would happen if a membrane protein was unable to bind to a signaling molecule?
Messages would not be sent to the inside of the cell.
What are 3 inorganic molecules important for cells?
Inorganic ions are the essential inorganic molecules found inside the cell membrane. These ions, also known as electrolytes, are vital for the electrical activity needed to support muscle contractions and neuron activation.
Where can organelles be found inside the cell?
They pretty well pack the inside of the cell.
What will likely result if the concentration of electrolytes inside a cell is higher than in the extracellular environment?
If the concentration of electrolytes inside a cell is higher than in the extracellular environment it is called hyperosmotic. The cells will loose water and shrivel.

What do electrolytes do within the body?
That is the golden question! What do electrolytes do in your body? You have sodium chloride in high concentration and calcium in low concentration in extracellular fluid. You have potassium chloride in high concentration and magnesium chloride in low concentration inside the cells. The concentration of the electrolytes is maintained in very narrow range. The cells spend most of the energy, in keeping particular electrolytes, inside and outside the cell. The cell functions are adversely affected, when the concentration of the electrolytes become more or less. The sodium and potassium falls under the same column in the periodic table. The magnesium and the calcium falls in the same column in the periodic table. Together they make a cross. They have almost same chemical properties. How does the cell identify the the ions in milliseconds is a big question mark. The answer is, I do not know the exact answer.
Cells in a hypertonic solution?
The cell has electrolytes (sodium) in smaller number than outside. Through simple diffusion or in this case osmosis, water will move out of the cell in an effort to balance the numbers inside with those on the outside. The cell will shrink as a result.
Term is used to indicate charged solutions contained in wet cell batteries?
Wet cell batteries contain liquids called electrolytes, such as sulfuric acid.. Dry cell batteries contain no liquid but are charged with alkaline or lithium.
Do you sweat cells?
No, sweat is a secretion of fluids and electrolytes from inside your cells.
What are some examples of a dry cell battery and a wet cell battery?
A dry cell battery is full of solid or paste-like electrolytes. One example of a dry cell is anode, which is a zinc metal. A wet cell battery is full of liquid electrolytes. One example of a liquid cell is an old car battery.
What term is used to indicate solution contained in wet cell batteries?
electrolytes
What is the term to indicate charged solutions contained in wet cell batteries?
electrolytes
Why is potassium important to the cardiac muscle?
All electrolytes are important to all muscles. In the cells there are sodium/potassium pumps that must be balanced. Some electrolytes are positive and some are negative. The balance (inside the cell vs. outside the cell) causes either contraction or relaxation.
The intracellular fluid compartment includes all water and electrolytes enclosed by a?
cell membrane
What term is used to indicate charged solution contained is wet cell batteries?
electrolytes
