How does the sodium-potassium ion pump function to maintain cellular balance?

The sodium-potassium ion pump is a protein in cell membranes that uses energy to move sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell. This helps maintain the balance of these ions inside and outside the cell, which is important for proper cell function and communication.


What are the types of solution outside the cell?

The two main types of solutions outside the cell are hypotonic solutions, where the solute concentration is lower outside the cell causing water to move into the cell, and hypertonic solutions, where the solute concentration is higher outside the cell causing water to move out of the cell. These solutions can affect the cell's size and function.


What is the function of channel proteins in cellular transport?

Channel proteins in cellular transport serve as passageways for specific molecules to move in and out of the cell, allowing for the regulation of substances entering and exiting the cell.


How does osmosis maintain body cells at a specific concentration?

Osmosis helps maintain the specific concentration of body cells by allowing water to move in and out of the cells to achieve equilibrium. When a cell is in a high concentration solution, water will move into the cell to dilute the solution. Conversely, when a cell is in a low concentration solution, water will move out of the cell to try to equalize concentrations. This process helps keep cell concentrations within a narrow range for proper function.
