Biology
1 answer:
Rzqust [24]3 years ago
4 0
Sodium potassium pump is ,found on the plasma membrane in animal cells, it  is involved in the active process of moving potassium and sodium ions across the cell membrane. The process involves hydrolysis of ATP to provide necessary energy. The process is responsible for maintaining the large excess of Na+ ions outside the cell and the large excess of K+ ions inside the cell. Therefore, failure of the sodium potassium pump can result to damage of the cell, cause swelling and rapturing of the cell as well this is due to unbalanced cellular charge across the membrane.

Hormones play an important role in regulating blood glucose levels. what is an example of this?
Ber [7]
The human body wants blood glucose (blood sugar) maintained in a very narrow range. Insulin and glucagon are the hormones which make this happen. Both insulin and glucagon are secreted from the pancreas, and thus are referred to as pancreatic endocrine hormones. The picture on the left shows the intimate relationship both insulin and glucagon have to each other. Note that the pancreas serves as the central player in this scheme.  It is the production of insulin and glucagon by the pancreas which ultimately determines if a patient has diabetes, hypoglycemia, or some other sugar problem.(i hope this can help you) :)

Do the properties of adhesion, cohesion, and surface tension behave different in salt water vs fresh water
Elanso [62]

Answer:

The water has a dipole that causes it to act like a magnet, attracting other water molecules to it. Adhesion is the attractive forces that cause water to "stick" to a surface other than its own. ... The salt water has a much lower cohesion than plain water so it's attractive forces are less than plain water.
