This is because the absorption of sodium is an energy-dependent process. Without an adequate oxygen supply, the cell will not have sufficient ATP available to absorb the sodium.

Is sodium and oxygen a metal or non-metal?
Do you breathe metal? Oxygen is a gas, not metal.
Why can oxygen easily cross the plasma membrane but sodium ions are unable to cross the plasma membrane?
Gh
What structure does oxygen diffuses through but a sodium ion may need active transport?
A semipermeable membrane
What are the ingredients in Brewer's anaerobic agar that remove O2 form the medium?
Oxygen reacts with the molecule sodium thioglycollate. If this is in a broth, the broth will end up having a gradient of available oxygen in it, with lower and lower levels of oxygen the farther down you go to the bottom. As for the brewer's agar, the sodium thioglycollate isn't enough to reduce oxygen levels to a low enough percentage to allow species like Closteridium sporogenes (for example) to grow. These plates must be kept in an airtight chamber with all oxygen somehow removed from it (most commonly a gas pack system that captures oxygen from the air). Hope this helps.
What is Translocation in physiology?
It is a general term for the transport of dissoolved material in plants this can be glucose, oxygen or other minerals such as sodium/potassium hope this helps
What form of food intake is needed to get chloride into a humans system without sodium How do we absorb chloride into our system without sodium?
A table salt substitute such as potassium chloride may be effective.
Why Alkaline pyrogallol absorbs oxygen when used on germinataing seeds?
alkaline pyrogallol will still absorb oxygen with or without germinating seeds. There is a common chemistry experiment were the percentage of oxygen is determined by mixing pyrogallol and base sodium hydroxide which forms the alkaline pyrogallol. Don't ask me why and how the mechanism is still not clear to me.
What is the role in salt of drying preservation?
Sodium chloride absorb water and microorganisms die without water.
What is the reaction between sodium hydroxide and moisture in air?
2NaOH + CO2 ---> Na2CO3 + H2O sodium hydroxide absorb carbon dioxide from moist air and turns sticky.
What does sodium oxygen make?
Sodium and oxygen produce sodium oxide, Na2O.
Can salt absorb oil?
Sodium chloride is hygroscopic, absorb water.
What does sodium plus oxygen equals?
Sodium + Oxygen = Sodium oxide: 4Na + O2 = 2Na2O
Whats is in salt that keeps meats from spoiling?
Sodium chloride absorb water and microorganisms are killed; they cannot live without water.
What elements make up sodium hydroxide?
Sodium (Na), oxygen (O), and hydrogen (H). The formula is NaOH. Sodium (Na), oxygen (O), and hydrogen (H). The formula is NaOH.
What is sodium and oxygen?
Sodium Oxide
What are the elements of sodium?
