What does a chemical cell contain that allows charges to flow?

You think probable to ions.


A salt bridge is needed in an electrochemical cell to buffer provide ions behave as an electrode or complete the electric circuit?

A salt bridge will allow for the completion of a circuit in an electrochemical cell.


What molecule will form when hydrogen ions flow down the electrochemical gradient through ATP synthesis complexes in mitochondria?

Water


A salt bridge is needed in an electrochemical cell to do what?

To complete the internal circuit by migration of ions.


What happens in electrochemical cell to cause it to go flat?

An electrochemical cell comprises of 2 REDOX half cells. These are made of a metal dipped in a solution of its own ions. One of these metals will corrode away to form ions and electrons- which form the basis of the electric current by acting as the cathode. Simply put, an electrochemical cell goes flat because there's no more metal left to break down, thus it goes flat.


Membrane junctions that allow nutrients or ions to flow from cell to cell are?

Desmosomes


How does the na-k atpase pump works?

3 Na+ ions attach to the transporter. ATP hydrolyzes, releasing a phosphate which binds to the transporter, causing a conformational change that releases the Na+ ions and phosphate to the cytosol. The decrease in Na+ ions causes an electrochemical gradient in the cell which attracts the K+ ions to the transporter which are brought in passively due to the electrochemical gradient. This maintains the membrane potential and osmotic pressure of the cell.


What is the thin structure surrounding an animal cell?

The thin structure that surrounds the cytoplasm of a cheek cell is called as cell membrane. This is present in most plant, animal and fungi cells. It is a selectively permeable structure and allows the flow of ions and particles from the inside of the cell to the outside and vice-versa.


Where does a cell release its ions?

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.


What transport protein allows ions to pass through the cell membrane?

Ion Channels allows ions to pass through the cell membrane.


Chemical that carries an electrical charge?

electrolyte! any substance that has ions, yeah? like dissolving an acid and its ions dissociate, so it can carry electrons. like lemon juice in an electrochemical cell.


In which direction do potassium ions flow as the action potential passes?
