What else can I help you with?
What salts or minerals come from rocks?
Examples: sodium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium phosphates, sodium nitrate etc.
In the human body where does the energy for the sodium potassium pump come from?
The energy for the sodium-potassium pump in the human body comes from the hydrolysis of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecules. This process provides the necessary energy to move sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell, against their concentration gradients, to maintain the cell's electrochemical balance.
Ions used to establish a resting potential?
Sodium (Na+) and Potassium (K+) ions are primarily responsible for establishing the resting potential of a neuron. At rest, there are more sodium ions outside the cell than inside, contributing to a positive charge outside the cell. In contrast, there are more potassium ions inside the cell than outside, contributing to a negative charge inside the cell.
What elements have a smaller density than water?
Some elements that have a smaller density than water include lithium, potassium, and sodium.
What health problems do Siamese cats have?
They don't have any health problems. Only that their nose and eyes sometimes get black hard chunks in them but it is easily to come out.
How does the sodium potassium pump operates?
The sodium-potassium pump functions much like a revolving door. Its main job is to keep sodium ions (NA+) outside of the cell and keep potassium ions (K+) inside of the cell. With the addition of energy from an ATP molecule, the sodium potassium pump moves three sodium ions out of the cell and moves two potassium ions into the cell with each turn. The goal of this process is to return, or keep, the cell at a resting state, or resting potential.
What harm can result from bullying?
its come to life threating health problems
What caused widespread health problems in the mid 1980s and for years to come in northeastern Kazakhstan?
Nuclear Test Site in Semipalatinsk caused major environmental and health problems.
What are the health issuse campared to obesitiy?
Health issues that come from obesity, include diabetes, heart problems, and problems with circulation. A person that is obese may also have fatty livers, and problems with kidney function.
Where does the sodium potassium release potassium ions?
The sodium-potassium pump releases potassium ions into the cell as it actively pumps sodium ions out of the cell. This process helps to maintain the cell's resting membrane potential and regulate cellular volume.
Where does molten carbonate come from?
Sodium carbonate can be made by the Solvay process from brine (sodium chloride) and limestone (calcium carbonate). In the US there are large deposits of a mineral called Trona which is sodium bicarbonate carbonate, and it is obtained from that. Potassium carbonate is made by electrolysis of potassium chloride which is found as mineral Sylvite, which gives potassium hydroxide which is then carbonated with CO2. See wikipedia entries for Solvay Process, Trona, and Potassium Carbonate
Where did Sodium's chemical symbol come from?
Sodiums chemical symbol is 'Na'. 'Na' is the initials of the Latin word for sodium, which is ' NADIUM'. Similarly, Potassium (K) is from Latin for 'KALIUM'.
