Na+-K+ ATPase
Na+ and Cl- are spectator ions.
Hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide yield salt and water H+ + Cl- + Na+ + OH- --> Na+ + Cl- + H2OComment:In solutions you better leave unchanged ions ( Cl- and Na+) out of the balanced equation: called to be 'tribune ions' (people on the tribune don't take part in the 'match'):H+ + OH- --> H2O This looks simpler than: H+ + Cl - + Na + + OH- --> Na + + Cl - + H2O
seriously
it goes from +1 to 0
it does not change -apex
both the electrical and chemical gradients
gradients are an example. Electric gradients are controlled by the transport of Na+ and K+ and H+, etc.
The Na+-K+pump. This carrier protein actively pumps Na+ out of and K+ into a cell against their electrochemical gradients. For every molecule of ATP hydrolyzed inside the cell, three Na+ are pumped out and two K+ are pumped in.
Na+ and Cl- are spectator ions.
Na+is bigger
The sodium- potassium pump pump moving Na+ ions out and K+ ions in
high Na+ concentration in the extracellular fluid; high K+ concentration in the cytoplasm
high Na+ concentration in the extracellular fluid; high K+ concentration in the cytoplasm
Na+H2o+H2=2 Nhoh
Na+ plus OH- plus H+ equals H2O plus Na+ plus Cl-
Sodium potassium pump prevents accumulation of K out side of cell and Na inside of cell.
