What are the cellular components of cerebrospinal fluid?
The cerebrospinal fluid contains a high concentration of sodium and chloride. It has small amounts of potassium, calcium, glucose and protein.
What is the name of cellular process in which materials are moved across a membrane from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration?
active transport
An increase in the concentration of ATP in a muscle cell is a direct result of which life function?
Cellular Respiration
The generation of ATP by the movement of protons down their concentration gradient occurs in?
Cellular respiration.
What is the process that requires cellular energy to move a substance against its concentration gradient?
Active transport uses energy to move substances against the concentration gradient.
What form of cellular transportation helps human cells maintain a constant sodium and potassium concentration?
A cell membrane pump
What form of cellular transportation helps human cells maintain their sodium and potassium concentration?
The sodium/potassium pump, the sodium leak channel and the potassium leak channel.
What forms of cellular transportation helps human cell maintain a relatively constant sodium and potassium concentration?
A Cell membane Pump
What is the purpose of the sodium potassium pump?
The main function of the sodium potassium pump is to maintain resting potential of cellular volume. It also ensures transportation and helps regulate the cellular volume.
A transporter protien that carries a substance across a cellular membrane against its concentration gradient?
Sodium potassium ATPase pump.
Why does increasing extracellular potassium ion cause membrane potential to change to a less negative value?
the membrane potential became less negative because less potassium ions went out of the cell (since the extra cellular space has higher concentration of potassium, and potassium goes down its concentration gradient, from high concentration to low concentration). since less potassium (K+)which is positive, left the cell more it became more positive (less negative)
What are the cellular components of cerebrospinal fluid?
The cerebrospinal fluid contains a high concentration of sodium and chloride. It has small amounts of potassium, calcium, glucose and protein.
Is the movement of ions from an area of greater concentration to one of lesser concentration an example of osmosis?
The movement of ions/molecules from an area of greater concentration to an area of lesser concentration is called diffusion.Osmosis is a type of diffusion, which refers specifically to the movement of the solvent (usually water).
What is an example of active transport using physiological processes in the human body?
diffusion occurs naturally facilitated diffusion and active transport need energy
What is Cellular Transportation?
CELLUALR TRANSPARTATION is the movement of particles in and out of the cell.
What three minerals control cellular fluid balance?
sodium and potassium
What causes hemo-concentration?
When a person loses blood plasma, a rise in cellular concentration as well as protein concentration occurs. This is hemoconcentration when this occurs.
