Na+ions participate in the transmission of nerve signals, in regulating the flow of water across cell membranes.
In the transport of sugars and amino acids into cell.
Potassium:
K+ions activate many enzymes.
Participate in the oxidation of glucose to produce ATP.
Magnesium:
All enzymes that utilise ATP in phosphate transfer require magnesium as a cofactor.
Mg is the central metal ion present in chlorophyll pigment in plants.
Calcium:
Ca2+ ions are present in bones.
plays important roles in neuromuscular function.
