Heavy Metal Toxicity

↪ Heavy metals are naturally occurring elements having atomic weight and density at least 5 times greater than that of water. ↪ Their usage in modern age is tremendous. ↪ Because of their multiple ...

Secondary Active Transport ( Na - glucose pump)

↪ The primary active transport of Na - K pump develops a large concentration gradient of Na+ ion by acquiring its high concentration outside and low concentration inside the cell membrane.↪ This gr...

Primary Active Transport ( Na - K ) Pump

↪ Sodium-potassium pump (Na-K) pump involves active transport phenomenon. ↪ In this Na+ ions have active transport expulsion from the cell.↪ And K+ ions have active transport to enter the cell by t...

Active transport and Cellular Ion Pump

↪ It is observed in human body that some substances or ions present in larger concentration in extracellular fluid (ECF) and small concentration in intracellular fluid (ICF).↪ Example: The concentr...

Importance of Metal Ions

↪ There are at least fifteen different metal ions which our body need to take in requisite amount from our daily diet. ↪ These minerals are classified as macro minerals such as Na, K, Mg and Ca and...
