The activation of taste receptors by various food molecules triggers specific pathways, resulting in the sensation of taste. The association of chloride ion, a component of table salt, with a sweet ...

Chloride ion–pumping rhodopsin (ClR) in some marine bacteria utilizes light energy to actively transport Cl⁻ into cells. How the ClR initiates the transport is elusive. Here, we show the dynamics of ...

Data of the intracellular electrolyte concentration of potassium and chloride in cultured muscle cells measured by x-ray analysis were compared by using the different activity coefficients with ...

A white precipitate forms if sulfate ions are present. Explain why, in a test for sulfate ions, the sample is acidified with hydrochloric acid first. Carbonate ions also produce a white precipitate ...
