What else can I help you with?
Does facilitated transport have a sodium potassium pump?
The sodium potassium pump requires ATP - i.e. it is involved in active transport, not facilitated transport.
What is the active transport mechanism by which cells pump sodium and potassium ions against the concentration gradient.?
sodium-potassium pump
An example of active transport?
sodium-potassium pump
Sodium potassium pump is an example of what?
Active transport
Is the sodium potassium pump a carrier protein?
Yes, the sodium-potassium pump is a type of carrier protein that helps transport sodium and potassium ions across the cell membrane.
In active transport carrier proteins?
sodium-potassium pump.
How many ATP is used in a sodium potassium pump?
The sodium-potassium pump uses one molecule of ATP to transport three sodium ions out of the cell and two potassium ions into the cell.
In cells a form of active transport is?
B: A Sodium-potassium pump
What is the role of ATP in sodium potassium pump?
transport across the membrane
Sodium potassium pump cofactor ion?
The sodium-potassium pump uses ATP as a cofactor to transport sodium out of the cell and potassium into the cell against their concentration gradients. This process is crucial for maintaining the cell's membrane potential and regulating cellular volume.
What happens in the sodium-potassium pump during the process of active transport"?
During active transport in the sodium-potassium pump, three sodium ions are pumped out of the cell while two potassium ions are pumped into the cell against their concentration gradients, using energy from ATP.
Can sodium still enter a membrane if ATP is not present to activate the sodium potassium pump?
Yes, sodium can still passively diffuse into the cell through leak channels even if the sodium-potassium pump is not active. The sodium-potassium pump primarily works to maintain the concentration gradient of sodium ions by actively transporting them out of the cell, but without ATP, this process would eventually fail.
