What concentration gradients are established and maintained by the sodium potassium exchange pumps?
high Na+ concentration in the extracellular fluid; high K+ concentration in the cytoplasm
Determination the concentration of concentrated hydrochloric acid?
Method: titration with a standardized solution of sodium (or potassium) hydroxide.
Are iron copper zinc manganese potassium magnesium sodium and calcium present in a pozzolan?
These elements are not typical for pozzolan.
How does the sodium potassium pump operates?
The sodium-potassium pump functions much like a revolving door. Its main job is to keep sodium ions (NA+) outside of the cell and keep potassium ions (K+) inside of the cell. With the addition of energy from an ATP molecule, the sodium potassium pump moves three sodium ions out of the cell and moves two potassium ions into the cell with each turn. The goal of this process is to return, or keep, the cell at a resting state, or resting potential.
What is the symbol for sodium potassium?
Sodium is Na Potassium is K
What is the concentration of sodium ions inside the cell is usually than the concentration of sodium ions outside the cell?
Extracellulary, Sodium is major ion. Intracellular concentration of sodium is: 12 mEq/L Extracellular concentration of sodium is: 140 mEq/L Intracellularly, Potassium is major ion. Intracellular concentration of Potassiumis: 140 mEq/L Extracellular concentration of Potassiumis: 3.5-5 mEq/L These concetrations are maintained by Na+/K+ ATPase.
What is the active transport mechanism by which cells pump sodium and potassium ions against the concentration gradient.?
sodium-potassium pump
Does the sodium-potassium pump require any energy to function?
No. The body requires a high concentration of intracellular potassium and a high concentration of extracellular sodium.
What form of cellular transportation helps human cells maintain their sodium and potassium concentration?
The sodium/potassium pump, the sodium leak channel and the potassium leak channel.
What concentration gradients are established and maintained by the sodium-potassium pump?
high Na+ concentration in the extracellular fluid; high K+ concentration in the cytoplasm
How does the addition of epinephrine affect the concentration of sodium and potassium in the muscles cytoplasm?
i have now idea
What concentration gradients are established and maintained by the sodium-potassium exchange pump?
high Na+ concentration in the extracellular fluid; high K+ concentration in the cytoplasm
The inside of cells have a higher concentration of what?
The inside of cells have a higher concentration of Potassium. But there's a higher concentration of Sodium outside the cell.
What concentration gradients are established and maintained by the sodium potassium exchange pumps?
high Na+ concentration in the extracellular fluid; high K+ concentration in the cytoplasm
Which describes the ion concentrations inside and outside of a neuron?
The sodium ion concentration is higher on the outside of the cell and potassium ion concentration is higher on the inside of the cell
What is the sodium potassium pump an example of?
The sodium potassium pump is an example of a type of ion transporter that operates via ATP. It is used to maintain the Na and K concentration gradient in cells.
Why is salt iodised?
Iodised salt (sodium chloride) contain iodine (as potassium/sodium iodide or potassium/sodium iodate). The concentration of iodine is 20 +/- 5 mg/kg. Iodised salt is recommended to avoid idiocy.
