How are potassium and sodium transported across plasma membranes against the?

Potassium and sodium are transported across plasma membranes against their concentration gradients through the action of specific ion pumps such as the sodium-potassium pump. This pump uses energy from ATP to actively transport three sodium ions out of the cell and two potassium ions into the cell for every cycle. This process helps maintain the electrochemical gradients necessary for cell function.


How plasma membrane diffuse across plasma membrane?

Ions can't diffuse across membranes, they must used channels to transport across


How is the cell membrane facilitated diffusion transported?

In Facilitated diffusion materials are transported across the plasma membrane without using up any energy. Plasma membranes is made up of phospholipid bilayers consisting of proteins which help in the transportation of larger materials.


How do larger molecules move across epithelial membranes in the capillaries?

Larger molecules can cross epithelial membranes in capillaries through processes like transcytosis, where the molecule is taken up by the cell on one side and transported across the cell to be released on the other side. This process often involves vesicles that transport the molecule across the cell.


What are small channels that form across the plasma membranes of adjacent cells?

Gap junctions are small channels that form across the plasma membranes of adjacent cells, allowing for direct communication and exchange of ions, small molecules, and signaling molecules between the cells.


What does plasma membranes do?

Plasma membrane functions to hold the contents of a cell together and separates them from the external environment.Plasma membrane also selectively controls the movement of substances going in or out of the cytoplasm, both actively and passively.

What is an apoplast?

An apoplast is a space outside of a plant's plasma membrane through which water and soluble nutrients are transported across a tissue or organ.


Is the concentration of glucose higher in cerebrospinal fluid or plasma?

The concentration of glucose is typically higher in plasma (blood) compared to cerebrospinal fluid because glucose is actively transported from blood into the brain. Normal CSF glucose levels are around 60-70% of plasma glucose levels.
