How do both sodium and potassium ions travel​

Biology
2 answers:
Damm [24]3 years ago

Answer:

Sodium ions pass through channels in the hydrophobic barrier that have been formed by membrane proteins. The crossing membrane is called facilitated diffusion because it is facilitated by the channel

Potassium ions have to be transocated through specific membrane transport proteins. It is then transported into the cell through potassium pumps with energy being consumed int the form of ATP.

The sodium-potassium pump goes through cycles of shape changes to help maintain a negative membrane potential. In each cycle, three sodium ions exit the cell, while two potassium ions enter the cell. These ions travel against the concentration gradient, so this process requires ATP.

Answer:

The sodium potassium pump goes through cycles of shape changes . In this way they help maintain a negative membrane potential. In each cycle, two potassium ions enter the cell while three sodium ions exit the cell . These ions travel against the concentration gradient. And this process requires ATP.

What type of force caused the folds shown in the above cross section
valkas [14]
The folds in the photograph above were caused by compression at a thrust fault or a convergent plate boundary. Compression usually occurs where two tectonic plates converge or collide. The compression will cause rocks to fold upwards and this upward folding over time can lead to the formation of extensive fold mountains. Examples of fold mountains include the Alps, Andes, and the Himalayas.

List three ways in which rods and cones differ in structure or function
qwelly [4]

<span>1.       </span>Cones perceive light in color while rods perceive light in black and white.

<span>2.       </span>Rods can perceive dim light, unlike cones. The rods are located at the edges of the eyes. This is why it easier to perceive an image in the dark through the corner of the eyes.

<span>3.       </span>The discs that compose the cones are usually partially open to the surrounding vitreous fluid while those of the rods are closed.
