Inorganic Ions

Cards (3)

  • Iron Ions
    Used in haemoglobin to bind to oxygen
  • Sodium ions
    Co-transport of glucose/AA Na+ moved out of cell by active transport by protein channel/pump Creates conc gradient of na+ ions Affects osmosis/ water potential
  • Phosphate ions
    Afefcts osmosis/ water potential Joins nucleotides with phosphodiester bonds Used to produce ATP Phosphorlates other ocmpaounds to make them more reactive Hydrophilic/water soluble part of PL bilayer in CSM
