. i. Sodium ions participate in the transmission of nerve signals, in regulating the flow of water
across cell membranes and in transport of sugar and amino acids into the cell.
ii. Potassium ions are the most abundant cations with in cell fluids, where they activate many
enzymes and participate in the oxidation of glucose to produce ATP. Potassium ions also
participate in the synthesis of proteins.
