Movement of sodium ions from a region of lower concentration inside a cell toward a region of higher concentration outside the cell is accomplished by?
active transport
What substances are transported by active transport?
Sodium Potassium
Does sodium move by active transport?
Sodium ions are thought to get into a cell by diffusion through special spores in the membrane and are expelled by a form of active transport .
In active transport carrier proteins?
sodium-potassium pump.
What changes occur in the neuron?
Neurons undergo depolarization and repolarization when stimulated. The sodium and potassium channels open.
Why Nacl is required in your body?
Sodium (from sodium chloride) is indispensable for lifebecause it is important for:- regulation of blood pressure, pH, blood volume, osmotic pressure- transmission of nervous impulse- correct neurons function
Where does the sodium potassium pump move sodium and potassium to?
The sodium-potassium pump uses ENERGY to move ions, it is a form of active transport. It moves sodium ions, generall highly concentrated outside the cell, to the outside, and potassium ions highly concentrated within the cell, within. Thus, it moves ions from areas of low concentration to high concentration, a process unlike diffusion and osmosis.....it requires ATP or the energy currency of a cell.
Why is diffusion any example of passive transport?
No, diffusion is passive transport.Active transport would be when there are actual proteins and structures involved in the transportation of molecules/chemicals/etc..A sure sign is that all of these (that I know of) require ATP.An example would be the Sodium-Potassium Pump located along one's neurons which actively pumps (aka. transports) sodium and potassium back and forth across the membrane to build up potential charge. This is how "signals" are sent down neurons and around the body.
Does facilitated transport have a sodium potassium pump?
The sodium potassium pump requires ATP - i.e. it is involved in active transport, not facilitated transport.
If there is more sodium inside a cell than outside which process could the cell use to take more sodium?
active transport....Look Up lil middy on youtube... He's Dope
To maintain solute concentration gradient in the renal medulla what is required?
active transport of sodium and chloride ions from the ascending limb of the loop of Henle.
If there is more sodium inside a cell than outside which process could the cell use to to take in more sodium?
Active transport moves a substance across a membrane UP it's concentration gradient.
Is there more sodium inside a cell than outside which process could the cell use to take in more sodium?
Active transport moves a substance across a membrane UP it's concentration gradient.
If there is more sodium inside a cell than outside which process could the cell use to take in more sodium?
Active transport moves a substance across a membrane UP it's concentration gradient.
Movement of sodium ions from a region of lower concentration inside a cell toward a region of higher concentration outside the cell is accomplished by?
active transport
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 is most likely to imitate calcium's role in the function of neurons?
Sodium
