The sodium-potassium pump uses no energy to function?
Using energy supplied by ATP, sodium ions are constantly pumped out of the nerve cell while at the same time potassium ions are pumped into the cell. This is termed the sodium-potassium pump.
When the sodium potassium pump is activated potassium is pumped into the cell twice as fast as the sodium is pumped out thus causing the membrane potential is this true regarding the generation of a m?
False
How many potassium ions does the sodium-potassium pump move into a cell if it moves six sodium ions out of the cell?
I think you're looking for three ... over the long run. But the trick is that K+ doesn't need to be pumped in. Membrane proteins act as variable sized pore in the membrane (channels) and the potassium flows in under electrostatic forces ... all the work is done pumping the Na+ out.
Is the longest cell the nerve cell of the giant squid?
The nerve cell is the longest cell in animals.
What composed of a cell bodydendritesand axon?
Nerve cell or neuron
Sodium pumped out of a nerve cell?
Swett
What is it when Sodium is pumped out of a nerve cell?
active transport
What process is when sodium is pumped out of a nerve cell?
Active transport
Is sodium pumped out of a nerve cell?
i do not know help me
When sodium is pumped out of a nerve cell what is it called?
Efflux via active transport
The sodium-potassium pump uses no energy to function?
Using energy supplied by ATP, sodium ions are constantly pumped out of the nerve cell while at the same time potassium ions are pumped into the cell. This is termed the sodium-potassium pump.
What's the direction sodium ions are pumped?
Sodium ions and potassium ions are pumped in opposite directions. Sodium ions are pumped out of the cell and potassium ions are pumped into the cell.
Do sodium ions move to inside of neuron in a nerve impulse?
No. Three sodium ions are pumped out of the neuron by the sodium-potassium pump and two potassium ions enter the cell. This way you maintain a slightly negative charge just inside the cell membrane.
