What are the main anions (2) found inside the cell?
The two main ions found outside a human cell's membrane are Sodium (Na+) and Chloride (Cl-). Therefore the answer is sodium because it is a cation (positively charged).
What is the condition of the outside air at a certain time and place?
weather
A resting potential is caused by a difference in the concentration of certain ions inside and outside the cell?
True
What does a cell membranes do?
The cell's membrane separates the inside from the outside and allows certain chemicals to pass, others are kept out.
In its resting state is a axon negatively charged?
A neuron in its resting state, or resting potential, is not conducting an action potential, so its outside it is positive. It is only when it is conducting an action potential that it becomes depolarized and changes so its outside is negatively charged. The interior of a neuron's axon is negatively charged due to the presence of proteins and chloride ions both bearing negative charges. The chloride ions ions are able to pass through the cell membrane, although I do not recall if that movement is exclusively through voltage-gated channels.
What is the Salty Baby disorder?
Perhaps cystic fibrosis?Cystic Fibrosis-- Final answer. CFTR channels malfunction and Chloride cannot exchange with bicarb at the epithelial surfaces exposed to the environment. Chloride then gets stuck outside the environment.
What is the most abundant anion in extracellular fluid?
Extracellular fluid refers to all body fluid outside of cells. The most abundant anion in the extracellular fluid is chloride (Cl-).
Are the crosses on the outside of a Catholic Church displayed a certain way?
No.
What are the main anions (2) found inside the cell?
The two main ions found outside a human cell's membrane are Sodium (Na+) and Chloride (Cl-). Therefore the answer is sodium because it is a cation (positively charged).
What two major electrolytes outside your cells and in your blood?
There aren't only 2 important electrolytes in the body/cell, but at least 7: Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, Magnesium, Calcium, Hydrogen Phosphate, and Hydrogen Carbonate.
What does the word outlying mean?
Outside certain limits, distant or remote
What is a symport system?
A symport system utilizes a carrier protein to move hydrogen and chloride ions from inside to outside of the cell, and requires energy to do this.
Where do you find a drifloom?
Valley windworks on a certain day but you can see it outside of battle
Do crickets need a certain place to breed?
No, Crickets can breed anywhere outside.
What is the condition of the outside air at a certain time and place?
weather
What chances for recovery do those with MALT lymphomas outside the digestive tract have?
Overall these patients have five-year survival rates greater than 90%.
A resting potential is caused by a difference in the concentration of certain ions inside and outside the cell?
True
