Is potassium an active or passive transport?
It depends. Are you talking about Na/K pumps or Na/K co transporters? Pumps are active.
What value is the active transport of potassium ion which requires ATP?
Na+/K+ ATPase active transport pump
Through what type of proteins does active transport occur?
A carrier protein (as opposed to a channel protein). An example of a carrier protein is the Na+/K+ pump.
What is an example of primary active transport?
Na+-K+ ATPase pumps
Which membrane protein is responsible for restoring the original concentration of Na plus and K plus?
Sodium potassium pump is responsible for restoring the original concentration of Na plus and K plus.

What value is the active transport of potassium ion which requires ATP?
Na+/K+ ATPase active transport pump
The Na-K pump is an example of active transport?
Bulk Transport is an example of active transport. The process by which amoeba engulfs its food and secretes is a type of active transport. Amoeba forms false feet like pseudopodia and engulf food.Active and Passive transport both are related with plasma membrane. Active Transport is the transport of food across plasma membrane with expenditure of energy.
Contrast active and passive transpot.?
PASSIVE TRANSPORT: when there is a transport of solutes from there higher concentration to their lower concentration across the semipermeable membrane as plasma membrane without any utilization of energy is called passive transport. ACTIVE TRANSPORT: When there is a net flow of solutes from there low concentration to their high concentrain of flow against the concentration gradiant with the utilization of energy is called active transport. e.g. Na+- K+ exchange pump.
Through what type of proteins does active transport occur?
A carrier protein (as opposed to a channel protein). An example of a carrier protein is the Na+/K+ pump.
Is the sodium potassium pump the main driving force of Na movement into a renal cell?
the Na/ K pump
What event initiates ATP attachment to the Na plus -K plus pump leading to the pump's phosphorylation?
The binding of Na+ ions to the pump
When eColi cells are exposed to a hypertonic solution the bacteria produce a transporter protein that can move k plus into the cells Of what value is the active transport of k plus which requires ATP?
The Na+-K+pump. This carrier protein actively pumps Na+ out of and K+ into a cell against their electrochemical gradients. For every molecule of ATP hydrolyzed inside the cell, three Na+ are pumped out and two K+ are pumped in.
A neuron has a positive charge on the outer surface of the cell membrane due in part to the action of an active transport system called the?
Na K pump :) J Debban
What is an example of primary active transport?
Na+-K+ ATPase pumps
The sodium-potassium pump transports what?
Na+ out of the cell and K+ into the cell
Are metals Na and K inactive or active?
K is potassium. Na is sodium. They are both akali metals which react violently with water. I actually did a project on potassium. I sadly actually don't know what inactive and active means.
