No, when sodium ions enter the cell, water does not exits to maintain fluid balance.

Explanation:

When Sodium ions are concentrated in a higher level in the outer layer it tends to push the Sodium ions into the cell. If three Sodium ions go out of a cell two potassium ions enter the cell. The water always accompanies the movement of Sodium ions.

The cell to perform work requires this transfer of ions. This is also useful for the nutrient absorption. So When Sodium ions enter the cell, water does not exit to maintain the fluid balance.

The answer is No. When sodium ions enter the cell, water does not exit to maintain fluid balance. If extra sodium ions entered the cell, then extra water must be given to keep the same density. Water does not exit, it must be added.

Transport of a substance from the lumen (cavity) of an organ into one side of a cell and out the other side of the cell into the

Feliz [49]

Transport of a substance from the lumen (cavity) of an organ into one side of a cell and out the other side of the cell into the extracellular fluid is called transcellular transport.

The two routes of transport of substances across the epithelium of the gut are by transcellular method and paracellular method.

Transcellular transport refers to the transport of solutes across a epithelial cell layer through the cells. The best example is the movement of glucose from the intestinal lumen to the extracellular fluid by the epithelial cells. The epithelial cells use the active transport to generate the transcellular transport. Active transport refers to the transport of substances from a region of its lower concentration to a region of its higher concentration against the concentration gradient using cellular energy.
