Figured you all would like to watch out for stuff like this!!
Because its a cat-ion!!

Anyone care to elaborate more about sodium-ion batteries?
Hi all,
I've just finished my first week of intropsych and next week I'm supposed to give a presentation on the sodium-potassium-pump that goes a bit beyond what the book offers us, so I am trying to think of questions that could add to my own and my peer's understanding of why and how it works the way it works.
So, here are my questions:
Why does the sodium-potassium-pump 'exchange' Na+ for K+ ions at a 3/2 rate? Why doesn't it just pump (and keep) out any positively charged ions to create an electrical gradient? What is the point of this 3/2 'exchange rate'?
The most likely explanation to me seems that it needs to maintain the osmotic balance between the intracellular and extracellular environment, but I am unable to find any sources that prove or disprove that idea. Also; what would happen if the osmotic gradient were to draw water out of the neuron? I know that too much water being drawn into the cell would cause it to burst, but what would the effects water leaving the neuron be?
Thanks in advance! If you think my question is better suited to another sub, please let me know.
