The sodium-potassium pump, shown below, is a mechanism that allows cells to move sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell, against a concentration gradient (i. e., from a low concentration to a high concentration).

picture of sodium pump

this mechanism maintains the correct concentrations of sodium and potassium ions inside of a nerve cell. although this pump uses energy, it is necessary to maintain these conditions so nerve impulses can be transmitted properly.

Which statements best describe the differences or similarities between a comparative investigation and an experimental investigation? check all that apply. experimental investigations are best for showing cause-and-effect relationships, while comparative investigations do not necessarily show this type of relationship. comparative investigations are often impractical and unrealistic, while experimental investigations are the most practical and realistic kinds of investigations. comparative investigations allow for the use of a wide range of variables but do not have a control group, while experimental investigations involve variables that can be controlled. both experimental investigations and comparative investigations are designed to answer scientific questions. both experimental investigations and comparative investigations focus on making observations rather than collecting new data.
