How are magnesium and potassium biologically important?
Asked by Topperlearning User | 12 Aug, 2014, 02:41: PM
Expert Answer
Magnesium and potassium ions are found in biological fluids. These ions perform function like maintenance of ion balance and nerve impulse conduction. Enzymes that utilize ATP in phosphate require Mg as the cofactor. Potassium ions are the most abundant cations within cell fluids. They even participate in the oxidation process of glucose to produce ATP. Sodium and potassium ions are responsible for the transmission of nerve signals. Also Na-K pump operates within the cell membrane.
