A cell releases its ions into a PG (proper grammar) solution. This is achieved by transport through channels or with transporters. This process can be active (up the electrochemical gradient) or passive (down the electrochemical gradient), in the case of transporters. Channels always mediate passive transport. Either of these processes can be gated, for example, there are voltage gated channels.

Do most animal cell membranes have proteins that pump sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell?
Most animal cell membranes have proteins that pump ______ ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell
What's the direction sodium ions are pumped?
Sodium ions and potassium ions are pumped in opposite directions. Sodium ions are pumped out of the cell and potassium ions are pumped into the cell.
In the Na K pump where do the ions go?
Sodium ions go out of the cell and potassium ions go into the cell.
What is a brief description of the action of the sodium-potassium pump?
The sodium-potassium pump is a transmembrane protein in a cell membrane. It keeps large concentrations of sodium ions outside the cell, and potassium ions inside the cell. It does this by pumping the sodium ions out, and the potassium ions in.
Acids are compounds that dissociate in water and release what?
Acids release hydrogen+ ions (H+) when dissolved in water
How does the cells charge affect the ions to move into the cell?
The charge of the cell would repel similar charged ions and attract opposite charged ions. For example, if a cell is positively charged, it would repel positive ions and attract negative ions
An action potential is caused by an influx of these ions into the cell?
sodium ions
Do acids release hydrogen ions?
yes they do and bases release hydroxide ions
Does swallowing semen speed up you metabolism?
Yes- once semen has been swallowed it goes down the oesaphagos and into the stomach duct. Here it will be broken down by enzymes and acid in the walls of the stomach...This will release various chloride ions from the Semen...Chloride ions are involved in helping our metabolic rate speeden. These ions will enter cell membranes and help cell to increase metabolic rate. Yes- once semen has been swallowed it goes down the oesaphagos and into the stomach duct.

What membrane activities require energy from ATP hydrolysis?
Sodium ions moving out of the cell
Could the ions go to another side of the cell through the salt bridge?
The charge of the ions go to another side of the cell through a salt bridge, not the ions themselves.
When dissolved in water acids release and bases release .?
acids release hydrogen ions bases release hydroxide ions
