What are Electrolytes?

A very important system in the cells is based on the inter-
action of sodium, potassium and chlorine ions. The cells are
equipped with an electrical system built to work with these
ions. Sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) are the elements that make
up the table salt we use everyday (NaCl - sodium chloride).

While it is found abundantly in seawater, much less exists in
fresh water. The cell membranes are usually closed to the pas-
sage of these ions. These levels are always kept in a certain
range to ensure a certain electrical voltage in the cell. In this

system, the potassium level inside the cell is kept higher than
that outside. Sodium and chlorine, on the other hand, are high-
er outside the cell. In other words, the levels of ions inside and
outside the cell are always kept at certain levels. Even the small-
est variation in these levels will cause diseases. Since these ions

build weak bonds with organic matters , their fundamental

Elements needed for the cell are controlled by gates,
which act like they are conscious, and are taken inside in
the required amounts or are removed from the cell.
