One is TPK 3, a potassium channel that is activated by Ca 2+ and conducts K + from the thylakoid lumen to the stroma, which helps establish the electric field. On the other hand, the electro-neutral K + efflux antiporter (KEA 3) transports K + into the thylakoid lumen and H + into the stroma, which helps establish the pH gradient. [7]
Calculated osmolarity = 2 Na + Glucose + Urea (all in mmol/L) As Na+ is the major extracellular cation, the sum of osmolarity of all other anions can be assumed to be equal to natremia, hence [Na+]x2 ≈ [Na+] + [anions] To calculate plasma osmolality use the following equation (typical in the US): = 2[Na +
Metabolic alkalosis is an acid-base disorder in which the pH of tissue is elevated beyond the normal range (7.35–7.45). This is the result of decreased hydrogen ion concentration, leading to increased bicarbonate (HCO − 3), or alternatively a direct result of increased bicarbonate concentrations.
[13] [16] [17] [18] [1] The normal pH in the fetus differs from that in the adult. In the fetus, the pH in the umbilical vein pH is normally 7.25 to 7.45 and that in the umbilical artery is normally 7.18 to 7.38. [19] Aqueous buffer solutions will react with strong acids or strong bases by absorbing excess H + ions, or OH −
This insulin secretion occurs before the blood sugar level rises, lowering the blood sugar level in anticipation of a large influx into the blood of glucose resulting from the digestion of carbohydrates in the gut. [83] Such anticipatory reactions are open loop systems which are based, essentially, on "guess work", and are not self-correcting. [84]
Physiologically normal intracellular pH is most commonly between 7.0 and 7.4, though there is variability between tissues (e.g., mammalian skeletal muscle tends to have a pH i of 6.8–7.1). [4] [5] There is also pH variation across different organelles, which can span from around 4.5 to 8.0. [6] [7] pH i can be measured in a number of ...

Peter D. Mitchell proposed the chemiosmotic hypothesis in 1961. [1] In brief, the hypothesis was that most adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis in respiring cells comes from the electrochemical gradient across the inner membranes of mitochondria by using the energy of NADH and FADH 2 formed during the oxidative breakdown of energy-rich molecules such as glucose.
