Not minerals, it is ions. Calcium ions and sodium ions.
What else can I help you with?
Which two elements are needed to help nerve cells send electrical signals?
It's Sodium and Potassium are necessary for the transmission of nerve impulses
Do sodium ions move to inside of neuron in a nerve impulse?
No. Three sodium ions are pumped out of the neuron by the sodium-potassium pump and two potassium ions enter the cell. This way you maintain a slightly negative charge just inside the cell membrane.
What are the two types of structures carry out transmission functions?
The two types of structures that carry out transmission functions are nerve fibers, which transmit electrical impulses in the nervous system, and axons, which are extensions of nerve cells that conduct electrical signals away from the cell body.
Is the sodium-potassium pump an anti port transport mechanism of reabsorption?
Yes, the sodium-potassium pump is an antiport transport mechanism involved in the active reabsorption of sodium ions and secretion of potassium ions in cells. It helps maintain the resting membrane potential and is crucial for various physiological functions, including nerve impulse transmission and muscle contraction.
What are two factors that help maintain the resting membrane potential of a typical nerve cell?
Yes, some quantity of energy is needed to maintain and develop resting potential of cell's membrane during the stages 1 and 2 of resting potential forming Cell uses energy of ATP at these stages for sodium potassium pump to create difference in K and Na ion concentration inside the cell and outside. For transportation 2 ions of potassium inside and 3 sodium ions outside the cell one molecule of ATP is needed
What two minerals are involved in nerve impulse and conduction?
Not minerals, it is ions. Calcium ions and sodium ions.
Which two elements are needed to help nerve cells send electrical signals?
It's Sodium and Potassium are necessary for the transmission of nerve impulses
In the human nervous system what is synapse?
It is the junction between terminal part of one axon and the dendrite of the adjacent neuron .Synapse helps in the transmission of impulses from one neuron to another neuron.
How many potassium ions are needed to bond with phosphate ions?
Two potassium ions are needed to bond with one phosphate ion. Potassium has a +1 charge while phosphate has a -3 charge, so it takes two potassium ions (each with a +1 charge) to balance the charge of one phosphate ion.
How many potassium ions are needed to blance the charge of one sulfide ion?
two potassium ions balance one sulfide ion. Potassium is K+, Sulfide is -2, so 2xK+ + 1x-2 = 0
Do sodium ions move to inside of neuron in a nerve impulse?
No. Three sodium ions are pumped out of the neuron by the sodium-potassium pump and two potassium ions enter the cell. This way you maintain a slightly negative charge just inside the cell membrane.

What is the number of ammonium ions needed to form a compound with one phosphate ion?
Two ammonium ions are needed to form a compound with one phosphate ion. Ammonium has a positive charge of +1, while phosphate has a negative charge of -3. Therefore, two +1 charges from the two ammonium ions will balance with the -3 charge from the phosphate ion.
How many sodium ions are needed to make a carbonate ion electrically neutral?
A carbonate ion (CO3^2-) has a charge of -2. Since sodium ions (Na+) have a charge of +1, two sodium ions are needed to make a carbonate ion electrically neutral.
What does the formula for the compound magnesium chloride MgCl2 tell you about how many chloride ions are needed to cancel out the charge of magnesium?
The formula MgCl2 indicates that one magnesium ion (Mg2+) requires two chloride ions (2Cl-) to cancel out its charge. Each chloride ion carries a charge of -1, so two chloride ions are needed to balance the +2 charge of magnesium.
How many chloride ions are needed to cancel the 2 charge of magnesium in magnesium chloride (MgC12)?
Two.
