Apoptosis and autophagy are both forms of programmed cell death, but necrosis is a non-physiological process that occurs as a result of infection or injury. Necrosis is the death of a cell caused by external factors such as trauma or infection and occurs in several different forms.
Main Content: Low-sodium salt alternatives. If you find that you or a loved one really cannot live without the taste of salt, then it may be worth using a low-sodium salt alternative. These sodium-replacement salts taste the same as normal table salt but use potassium instead of sodium as a key ingredient.
The Sodium Atom. When most people think of sodium, they think of table salt. While table salt contains an ionized form of sodium (in combination with chloride), non-ionized metallic sodium has a very different set of chemical properties than the sodium ions in table salt.ecause the sodium ion has a positive charge, and the chlorine ion has a negative charge, they are attracted to each other, and form an ionic bond. Ions form salts, not molecules, but they perform many important functions in nutrition.
