which of the oins listed below could be used to drive an electrically neutral coupled transport of a solute accross the plasma membrane. indicate the direction of movement of the listed ions and indicate what sort of ion could be contransported to preserve electrical neutrality. Identically there is a glaring intracellular deficiency of anions relative to cations in the table yet cells are elecrically neutral. what anions do you suppose are missing

Na⁺, K⁺, Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, H⁺, and Cl^-

Solution

K+, Na+, Mg2+, Ca2+, H+, and Cl- drive an electrically neutral coupled transport of a solute accross the plasma membrane.  Na+ tends to move into the cell down its electrochemical gradient i.e.  if the Na+ concentration in the extracellular fluid is reduced, solute transport decreases. Also K+ move against their concentration gradients.

Mg^{2 +}is the most abundant divalent cation within cells.. Mg2+ ions move from extracellular membrane to cytosole through negative feedback mechanism.

Ca2+ pumps carry out active transport of calcium out of the cell for the maintenance of the steep Ca²⁺ electrochemical gradient across the cell membrane.

Hydrogen-ion transport numbers in cation exchange membrane.

The CLC channels allow chloride to flow down its electrochemical gradient, when open.
