To answer the question, we need to identify which ions are essential for maintaining the balance between anions and cations in cells. Here's a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Terms - **Anion**: An anion is a negatively charged ion. Examples include chloride (Cl⁻) and sulfate (SO₄²⁻). - **Cation**: A cation is a positively charged ion. Examples include sodium (Na⁺), potassium (K⁺), and calcium (Ca²⁺). **Hint**: Remember that anions are negatively charged and cations are positively charged. ...
