Concepts Used:

Biological Importance of Sodium and Potassium

Biological Importance of Sodium:

  • Sodium is used for the generation of courageous impulses and for the maintenance of electrolyte balance and fluid balance.
  • Sodium ions are essential for heart activities and certain metabolic functions. Health is overdone when the body has too much and too little sodium.
  • They are required for the transport of sugars and amino acids into the cells

Biological Importance of Potassium:

  • Potassium ions are fundamentally found inside the cell.
  • They maintain the osmolarity (the concentration of a solution indicated as the total number of solute particles per liter) of the cell. They also balance the opening and the closing of the stomata.
  • They act as cofactors for particular enzymes such as pyruvate kinase.
  • Potassium is essential in heart function and in skeleton and muscle contraction.
  • Diets with low potassium leads to hypertension.
  • It maintains the electrolyte stability in the body.
