The rows in the top third - This group consists of elements like Sodium, Magnesium, Potassium and Calcium on the right and Chlorine, Carbon, Nitrogen and Oxygen on the left.
Sodium and Chlorine are components of salt, a very important compound of our blood, essential for transferring electrical signals from the brain to the rest of the body and vice versa. Calcium is the building block of our bones, while Magnesium and potassium ensure proper functioning of our organs.

What explanation can you give for why the sodium-potassium pump does not run out of ions to move in or out of the cell
rewona [7]

The sodium-potassium pump does not run out of ions since ion exchange is essential for the action potential to take place and to maintain homeostasis.

The cell has variable concentrations of different substances compared to the environment that surrounds it, with significant differences with sodium and potassium.

  • The main function of the sodium-potassium pump is to maintain homeostasis of the intracellular medium, controlling the concentrations of these two ions.

  • In order to carry out the adequate exchange of sodium and potassium ions in the extra and intracellular medium, the cells need an active transport process that is carried out thanks to the sodium potassium pump.

  • This process is needed for the maintenance and functioning of cells, and it is essential for the action potential to be executed, necessary for the transmission of electrical impulses from neuron to neuron.

Therefore, we can conclude that the sodium potassium pump produces an exchange of potassium ions for sodium ions which keeps the cellular system functioning properly.
