Poisons like cyanide inhibit Na^(+) influx during cellular transport. This inhibitory effect is reversed by an injection of ATP. This demonstrates that

[A] : Poisons like cyanide inhibit Na^+ efflux and K^+ influx during cellular transport. [R] ATP supply required for the Na^+ and K^+ exchange pump is stopped.

ATP is injected in cyanide poisoning because it is

In stomatal opening, influx of K^(+) is accompanied by efflux of

Influx of K(+)ions into guard cells and efflux of H(+) ions from guard cells lead to

Read the following statement and choose the correct option I. Asceding limb of Henle's loop is permeable to water II. Tubular cells secrete substance like H^(+), K^(+) and ammonia into filtrate III. There is maximum reabsorption in Henle's loop IV. Conditional reabsorption of Na^(+) occurs in DCT V. PCT helps in maintaining ionic balance of body fluids

Find the correct pair of statements (i) Influx of Cl- into guard cells during stomatal opening is active. (ii) Entry of sucrose from companion cells into sieve tubes at source involves expenditure of energy (iii) At the sinks sucrose moves out of phloem by passive transport (iv) Efflux of K^(+) from guard cells during stomatal closure does not involve energy expenditure

[A] : Most of the solutes in ECF and cytoplasm are electrolytes, i.e., electrically charged par- ticles or ions. Maintenance of an equilibrium between intracellular fluid and ECF is vitally essential for all cells. [R]: This osmotic equilibrium is maintained by sodium and potassium pump of the cells. It operates with the help of a Na^+, K^+ ATP as enzyme located in the cell membrane.
