In addition to chloride, there are other negatively charged molecules in plasma. The extra sodium restores the balance of the overall negative charges.

So this is how plasma is electrically neutral.

<h3>The makeup of bodily fluids:</h3>
  • High levels of sodium, chloride, bicarbonate, and protein can be found in the plasma.
  • High levels of salt, chloride, and bicarbonate but a relatively low level of protein can be found in the IF.
  • The ICF, on the other hand, contains higher levels of protein, phosphate, magnesium, and potassium.
<h3>What occurs when the plasma Na+ content rises?</h3>
  • Although the plasma sodium concentration does not provide any information regarding the volume of extracellular fluid, it does allow for an assumption regarding intracellular volume.
  • A rise in plasma sodium (plasma osmolality) causes water to be drawn out of the cell, which causes the intracellular volume to decrease.
<h3>Why does plasma have a higher sodium content than chloride?</h3>
  • In plasma, sodium predominates over chloride.
  • In addition to chloride, there are other negatively charged molecules in plasma.
  • The extra sodium restores the balance of the overall negative charges.

What kinds of traits do not evolve through natural selection?
Harrizon [31]

Natural selection doesn't favor traits that are somehow inherently superior. Instead, it favors traits that are beneficial (that is, help an organism survive and reproduce more effectively than its peers) in a specific environment. Traits that are helpful in one environment might actually be harmful in another.

(one again, I hope this helps ^^)
