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 concentration of solutes is equal the concentration of solutes inside the cell?
when a concentration of something, usually water, is the same inside and outside a cell, it is called an isotonic solution. When there is more inside the cell or membrane, but less outside, the solution is hypotonic. when there is more on the outside , it is known as hypertonic. however, it depends what you are describing
Is calcium more concentrated inside or outside the cell?
Overall none, or the cell would swell or shrink until the osmotic pressure becomes the same. But : most of the sodium is outside & most of the potasium is inside. most of the proteins are inside most of the sugar is outside (depending on insulin).
The concentration of material is greater on the outside of the cell than the inside in what solution?
A solution in which the salt concentration is greater outside the cell than inside the cell is known as
When is a substance most likely to diffuse into a cell?
If there is the concentration of substance inside the cell is lesser than outside and cell membrane is permeable to the substance.

Which describes the ion concentrations inside and outside of a neuron?
The sodium ion concentration is higher on the outside of the cell and potassium ion concentration is higher on the inside of the cell
There is a greater concentration of na plus and there is a greater concentration of k plus in the cell?
There is a greater concentration of Na plus outside and there is a greater concentration of K plus inside the cell. When the stimulus is delivered, the permeability of the membrane is changed, and Na plus diffuses into the cell, initiating the depolarization of the membrane.

What causes the inside of neuron becomes positive?
Outside a neuron, there are mostly sodium ions but some potassium ions. Inside the neuron, there are only potassium ions. Since both sodium and potassium are positive ions, and they are in a higher concentration outside the cell, that makes the outside have a more positive charge than the inside. But for all intents and purposes, the outside is positive, and the inside is negative. When the sodium ions (Na+) rush into the cell during depolarization, it causes the concentration of positive ions inside the cell to go WAY up, making the inside more positive than the outside. This means that the outside is now negative and the inside now positive.
What is the concentration of sodium ions inside the cell is usually than the concentration of sodium ions outside the cell?
Extracellulary, Sodium is major ion. Intracellular concentration of sodium is: 12 mEq/L Extracellular concentration of sodium is: 140 mEq/L Intracellularly, Potassium is major ion. Intracellular concentration of Potassiumis: 140 mEq/L Extracellular concentration of Potassiumis: 3.5-5 mEq/L These concetrations are maintained by Na+/K+ ATPase.
The concentration of material is greater on the outside of the cell than the inside in what solution?
A solution in which the salt concentration is greater outside the cell than inside the cell is known as
When is a substance most likely to diffuse into a cell?
If there is the concentration of substance inside the cell is lesser than outside and cell membrane is permeable to the substance.
What is isotonic concentration?
Isotonic concentration is when the concentration of soletutes inside and outside of the cell are equal in concentration
How does the inside of the resting neuron compare to the outside in terms of electrical charge and Na plus concentration?
The concentration of negatively charged proteins and positively charged potassium ions, K+, is greater inside the cell than outside. In contrast, the concentration of sodium ions, Na+, is greater outside the cell than inside. The concentrations of Na+ and K+ ions are partly due to the action of the sodium-potassium pump, which actively moves Na+ out of cells while moving K+ in.
Which ions electrical charges oppose the direction of movement that is caused by their concentration gradient?
Any ion that is positive but has a higher concentration inside the cell or is negative and has a higher concentration outside the cell. Any ion that is positive but has a higher concentration inside the cell or is negative and has a higher concentration outside the cell.
