Why do cells need minerals?
Cells need minerals for many reasons. Minerals help keep the immune system strong, to make sure the body grows at a normal rate, and to ensure the organs are functioning properly.
When the cardiac cells are in resting and negatively charged state this is known as?
Depolarization
What is the meaning for nucleus?
Biology. a specialized, usually spherical mass of protoplasm encased ina double membrane, and found in most living eukaryotic cells, directingtheir growth, metabolism, and reproduction, and functioning in thetransmission of genic characters.
What stores water and dissolved minerals in a cell?
Vacuoles store water and dissolved minerals in a cell. Vacuoles are sac-like structures that are surrounded by a membrane and are found in plant and fungi cells.
Why cant life exist without phosphorus?
cells have said "Phosporus" inside of them without them you'd lose all cells.
How osmosis works inside human body?
There are certain types of vitamins and minerals that exist inside cells and float around outside cells that are either positively and negatively charged. If the equilibrium of specific vitamins or a specific mineral is out and creates a deficit from its positive/negative charged counterpart vitamin or mineral; then water is the medium to increase or decrease the pressure of the cells absorption and nutrient uptake.
Do sodium potassium ATPase pump causes positive charge to accumulate inside cells?
no- the outside of the cell becomes positively charge while the inside of the cell will become negitvely charged
What is the inside of your bones made up of?
Calcium and other minerals and cells
Where histamine is found in human body?
Histamine is found in the granules of mast cells where it is bound with an acidic protein and heparin(positively charged) while histamine itself is negatively charged.
Do eukaryotic chromosomes consist of circular DNA molecules complexed with positively charged nonhistone proteins?
No. Sounds as if you are describing a prokaryote chromosome.
What makes antimicrobial peptides to act on bacterial cells rather than human cells if peptides do not have hemolytic activities?
Bacterial membranes are richer in negatively charged phosphate groups. Antimicrobial peptides that are less hemolytic are rich in lys or arg groups that are positively charged.
What fills the space between the bone cells and minerals inside the ends of a bone are?
spongy pads
Why are living cells negatively charged inside?
ATP, organic acids, and other negative molecules that cannot escape
How does the cells charge affect the ions to move into the cell?
The charge of the cell would repel similar charged ions and attract opposite charged ions. For example, if a cell is positively charged, it would repel positive ions and attract negative ions
Are there minerals in animal cells?
Yes! Minerals are vital to properly functioning cells.
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.
Were minerals once plants and animals?
Minerals were not once plants and animals. This is because life is composed of cells and minerals do not contain cells.
