1. Why it is important to to have appropriate amounts of calcium in the body?

Answer 1

Answer:

Almost all calcium in the body is stored in bones and teeth, giving them structure and hardness. Your body needs calcium for muscles to move and for nerves to carry messages between your brain and every part of your body.

Three sodium ions bind to intracellular sites on the sodium-potassium pump.

A phosphate group is transferred to the pump via the hydrolysis of ATP.

The pump undergoes a conformational change, translocating sodium across the membrane.
