A cell membrane pump helps human cells to maintain a relatively constant sodium and potassium  concentration.

<u>Option: A</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Sodium potassium pump is a plasma membrane protein that utilizes energy ATP — Triphosphate Adenosine turning into ADP — Adenosine Diphosphate to deliver intracellular and extracellular sodium (NA+) and potassium (K+) ions sequentially. The purpose of this entire mechanism is to preserve cell equilibrium.

The extracellular medium has a greater concentration of Na while the K concentration of the intracellular fluid is lower. Proteins trap sodium ions in the cytoplasm and pump them out from the cells to preserve cell stability while preserving concentrations. Within the cells proteins inject potassium ions into the cell.

Image result for In what ways do cells use energy

Cells do not use the energy from oxidation reactions as soon as it is released. Instead, they convert it into small, energy-rich molecules such as ATP and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), which can be used throughout the cell to power metabolism and construct new cellular components.

Lithified ash (or ash mixed with pyroclastic fragments) forms a volcaniclastic rock called a:________
sweet [91]

Lithified ash (or ash mixed with pyroclastic fragments) forms a volcaniclastic rock called a Tuff.

  • A form of rock called tuff is created when volcanic ash is blasted from a vent during an eruption.
  • The ash is transformed into a rock after ejection and deposition. Tuff is defined as rock with an ash content of more than 75%, whereas tuffaceous refers to rock with an ash content of 25% to 75%.
  • The thickness of tuff often decreases with distance from the volcano and is usually greatest close to the volcanic vent. The typical shape of a tuff deposit is that of a "lens," not a "layer."
  • Tuff may also be thickest on the vent's side that faces away from the wind or on the side facing the direction of the blast.
