Some organisms can create a sodium motive force by pumping sodium ions across a membrane using the energy of an electron transpo
juin [17]

Answer:

In order for the sodium motive force to provide useful energy for the cell the organism must contain sodium ion gradient or potential across the membrane.

Explanation:

If the concentration of sodium is high in the inter membrane space than that of matrix then a sodium gradient is generated across the inner mitochondrial membrane.

    The transport of sodium ions from inter membrane space to matrix through the sodium ion channel result in the generation of sodium motive force,that is used to provide energy to the cell.

Please provide a legitimate answer and provide an explanation for the question below.
UNO [17]

Answer:

The skeletal system is vital in supporting the immune system because : Bones contain marrow, a porous material which creates both white and red blood cells. This replenishment of cells allows the body to fight and expel harmful bacteria, environmental toxins,  foreign material e.t.c.

The white blood cells formed by the marrow are instrumental in isolating and destroying harmful particles (either on the site or in lymph nodes), or transporting them to the kidneys or bowels for excretion.

NOTE : Some people have marrow disorders which prevent their marrow from forming new cells; this is caused most often by cancer. Today, it is possible to transplant marrow from a healthy individual to a sick patient, and so help their bone marrow form new white and red blood cells to fight their sickness.

I hope it helps :)
