sodium ions into the cell to transport one calcium out.
Many cells also posses a calcium ATPase, which can operate at lower intracellular concentrations ...

Given a cellulose material, the portion that does not dissolve in a 17.5% solution of
sodium hydroxide at 20 deg C. is Alpha Cellulose , which is true cellulose; the portion that dissolves and then precipitates upon acidification is Beta ...
Ion gradient
... or transmembrane proteins with ATPase domains are often used for making and utilizing ion gradients. The enzyme Na+/K+ ATPase use ATP to make a
sodium ion gradient and a potassium ion gradient.
Proton gradients
The proton gradient can be used as an intermediate energy storage for heat ...
Depolarization
