How does the sodium-potassium pump contribute to the net negative charge of the interior of the cell?

Biology
1 answer:
Slav-nsk [51]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

By moving three positively charged ions out of the cell for two positively charged ions entered.

Explanation:

The sodium-potassium pumps are the pumps located in the plasma membrane and are involved in the active transport of sodium-potassium ions. Binding of ATP and three sodium ions to the sodium-potassium pump is followed by hydrolysis of ATP and the use of released energy to bring about the conformational change in the shape of the pump.

This allows the bound three sodium ions to move out of the cell. As the sodium ions are released out of the cell, two potassium ions enter into the cell through the pump.

Since three positively charged sodium ions are expelled out of the cell for two positively charged potassium ions entering the cell, the net effect is making the interior of the cell negative with respect to its exterior.

Water vapor in the air condenses into liquid droplets when the water reaches ____. A. A warm front B. Its critical elevation C.
Vsevolod [243]

C

Dew point is the temperature of an air mass in which the water vapor (humidity) starts to condense into droplets due to saturation. This is when dew begins to form.

Explanation:

The higher the temperature the higher the water vapor the air mass can hold. This is because the intermolecular spaces between the air molecules become larger with increased temperature hence can accommodate more water vapor molecules in between the air molecules. As the air mass cools the intermolecular spaces become shorter and the relative humidity of the air mass increases. At temperatures where the air mass can't accommodate its humidity, this is called the dew point, and the water vapor begins to condense into droplets (dew).
