What kind of protein is the sodium-potassium pump?
a carrier protien
Sodium potassium pump is an example of what?
Active transport
What is the sodium potassium pump an example of?
The sodium potassium pump is an example of a type of ion transporter that operates via ATP. It is used to maintain the Na and K concentration gradient in cells.
What does the sodium-potassium pump pick up outside the cell?
soduim ions
When Robert boyle air pump?
Robert Boyle did create the air pump along with Robert Hooke.
What kind of protein is the sodium-potassium pump?
a carrier protien
What type of transport protein is a sodium potassium pump?
It is a carrier protein
In a sodium-potassium pump what molecules are moved and where are they moved to?
In a sodium-potassium pump a carrier protein uses ATP in Active transport. The sodium ions are transported out of the cells and the potassium ions are transported into the cell.
What is the sodium-potassium pump?
the sodium-potassium pump is one of the most important carrier proteins in the animal cell.
What is the sodium potassium pump?
the sodium-potassium pump is one of the most important carrier proteins in the animal cell.
What is a carrier protein that used ATP to actively transport sodium ions out of a cell and potassium ions into the cell?
That would be the Sodium-Potassium pump. Pretty creative name eh?
What protein that allows ions to actively transport across?
The transport protein allows substances to travel across the cell membrane. The substance is traveling from low concentration to a higher concentration. The process requires energy and is called active transport. The protein is simply called a transport protein.
In active transport carrier proteins?
sodium-potassium 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 a brief description of the action of the sodium-potassium pump?
The sodium-potassium pump is a transmembrane protein in a cell membrane. It keeps large concentrations of sodium ions outside the cell, and potassium ions inside the cell. It does this by pumping the sodium ions out, and the potassium ions in.
Process by which ATP is used to move sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions back into the cell?
Sodium-Potassium pump uses ATP (energy) to pump sodium out of cells and potassium back in.
Can sodium still enter a membrane if ATP is not present to activate the sodium potassium pump?
no as there is no energy to form a conrormational change in the protein pump
