When the cell excretes sodium from within against the natural tendency of matter it is performing .?
Active Transport
What is the tendency of an object to stay in motion or at rest until a force acts upon it called?
The tendency is called inertia. The inertia of an object is directly related to its mass, since the effect of any given force depends on the mass and motion of the object (and whether the force acts with or against any other existing forces).
What are the uses of the isotopes uranium 238 or potassium 40?
Uranium 238 (depleted uranium) uses: - fertil isotope in some types of nuclear reactors - shield against nuclear radiation - counterweight - material for armors and projectiles - catalyst - additive for glass and ceramics (to obtain beautiful green or yellow colors) - toner in photography - mordant for textiles - additive for the preparation of biological samples for electron microscopy - other minor uses Applications of potassium-40: - minerals dating by the potassium-argon method - radiometric analysis of samples containing potassium
How does the sodium and potassium pump act to maintain the resting membrane potential?
Primary active transport is the process in which ions are moved across cell membranes against the electrochemical gradient using energy supplied directly be ATP. The action of the sodium-potassium pump is an important example of primary active transport.Secondary active transport is indirectly driven by primary transport. In the sodium-potassium pump, by pumping against the gradient, energy is stored in the ion gradient. Then, just as water pumped uphill can do the work as it flows back down, (think water wheel or turbine), a substance pumped across the membrane can do work as it leaks back, propelled downhill along the concentration gradient.
What process uses proteins to move molecules against a concentration gradient?
There are two processes, Exokineses and Endokineses. just to make sure, go to Biology-online.org Then type in these scientific names and see if they're right. TY
What primary standard is used to titrate against potassium hydroxide?
HCl, hydrochloric acid, is the primary standard used to titrate against potassium hydroxide.
What does potassium iodide do for you in a nuclear accident?
A nuclear event, such as an accident or war, is likely to produce a lot of radioactive iodine. The thyroid gland concentrates iodine, so any iodine that gets into a person's body is likely to end up there. The potassium iodide tablets provide more iodine than the thyroid can use, so the radioactive iodine is not so likely to be retained in the body. So the potassium iodide reduces exposure to radioactivity. It protects only the thyroid, and it only protects that against radioactive iodine, but it is better than nothing.
Can aspirin help against cellulite?
No. The tendency to have cellulite is genetic. Nothing will eliminate it.
What is the active transport mechanism by which cells pump sodium and potassium ions against the concentration gradient.?
sodium-potassium pump
Are activated charcoal tablets effective against potassium cyanide?
yes
Can you use potassium gluconate as potassium fertilizer?
Commercial potassium fertilizer utilizes potassium carbonate - no idea what this gluconate compond might do to plants - recommend against it, as this is a human dietary supplement and wasn't tested on plant roots etc.
What does Alexis de Tocqueville mean by Americans' tendency to combine guards against?
tyranny of the majority
What happens when silver nitrate is titrated against potassium chloride?
It looks translucent.
Can potassium iodide taken internally?
Yes, in small amounts. Potassium iodide is often added to table salt as a preventative against the disease goiter.

Which is defined as a tendency to favor or oppose a particular idea group person or thing?
The noun bias is a word for a tendency in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another.Some synonyms are prejudice, preconception, or partisanship.
What indicates plants response to gravity?
Geotropism, the tendency of some plants to grow straight up, against the force of gravity.
