Sodium and potassium are found mostly in what part of the body?
Sodium and potassium are two very important micronutrients of the body. They are present in every cells of the body, Sodium (Na), normally outside the cells (in the extra-cellular fluid) and Potassium (K), normally inside the cell (in the cytoplasm) . By changing the balance of which of them are in a greater percentage inside and outside the cells , they are able to create membrane potential, which are necessary for the nerve impulses. (See sodium/potassium pumps, please) They are also electrolytes, maintaining the body's proper fluid balance. More info could be find on related links.
Quartz and potassium feldspar grains are the main constituents of which rock?
Granite is the rock composed mainly of quartz and potassium feldspar grains.
Why the melting point of potassium fluoride is higher than the melting point of potassium iodide?
KF has small size than KCl. So the packing of atoms / ions in KF is more than that in KCl. So a larger energy is needed to separate the atoms from solid state to liquid state and hence KF has higher melting point than KCl.
Is potassium a metal?
Yes, potassium is a metal. But the real question is what makes it a metal. Now that's something to think about. Potassium is also very reactive with oxygen, mainly water. do not try it but placing potassium in a tank water can make the tank of water blow up
What percentage does potassium take up the atmosphere?
Potassium is not a gas, it is a metal. It is found in mineral salts, not the atmosphere. It can be found in the atmosphere in small enough particles that move via wind currents, ocean spray, ect. but it is not a component of the atmosphere.
Is osmosis controlled by the nucleus?
Osmosis, the movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane, is mainly a physical process driven by the concentration gradient. It is not directly controlled by the nucleus. The cell regulates osmosis through various mechanisms to maintain internal balance.
Which Medicines contain potassium chromate?
Potassium chromate is not commonly used in medicines due to its toxicity. It is mainly used in industrial processes like the production of dyes, pigments, and inks. However, it is important to note that this compound is considered hazardous and should only be handled by trained professionals in controlled environments.
What is responsible for balance?
Vestibular apparatus from the middle ear is mainly responsible for balance.
Who controlled Morocco?
Mainly France, but Spain controlled a small portion of it during the same time period.
Is feldspar granitic?
Yes, Granite is composed mainly of quartz and potassium feldspar
In mammals the amount of the water in the body is controlled mainly by the what?
kidneys
What does k in penicillin k stand for?
k stands for potassium...its complexed with penicillin....mainly added with phenoxymethylpenicillin.so that a potassium sparing diuretic need not be used.
Which channel is mainly responsible for the resting potential of a neuron?
The sodium-potassium pump is mainly responsible for establishing and maintaining the resting potential of a neuron. It actively transports sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell against their concentration gradients, contributing to the overall negative membrane potential.
North America was mainly controlled by which European Empire?
The ottoman empire
What element is the fire's ash made of?
Mainly carbon, with a fair amount of potassium in some ash.
What is the heat source driving the convection current in earth's mantle?
Radioactive decay - mainly of potassium.
Africa's west coast was mainly controlled by which European Empire?
probably it was france.
