- Ions
- Cations
- potassium ions (K+): -nerve impulse transmission -stomatal opening
- sodium ions (Na+): -nerve impulse transmission -kidney function
- hydrogen ions (H+): -catalysis of reactions -pH determination
- calcium ions (Ca2+): -nerve impulse transmission -muscle contraction
- ammonium ions (NH4+): -production of nitrate ions by bacteria
- Anions
- chloride ions (Cl-): -balance positive charge of sodium and potassium ions in cells
- hydrogen carbonate ions (HCO3-): -maintenance of blood pH
- phosphate ions (PO43-): -cell membrane formation -nucleic acid and ATP formation -bone formation
- nitrate ions (NO3-): -nitrogen supply to plants for amino acid and protein formation
- hydroxide ions (OH-): -catalysis of reactions -pH determination
