    This document discusses the importance of ion exchange in cells for nutrient uptake and waste removal. Specifically, it mentions that root hair cells uptake ions through ion exchange, villi cells uptake glucose, and Na+/K+ pumps help maintain concentration differences of ions inside and outside cells. The pumps use ATP to change shape and exchange 3 sodium ions for 2 potassium ions, which is important for nerve impulse production.

    Na+/K+ pumps

    To maintain conc. difference


    Create high K+ conc. inside cell, low outside
    Low Na+ conc. inside cell, high outside
    Important in production of nerve impulses
