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.
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?
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 method of transport for the movement of sodium ions into the cell and the potassium ions between the red blood cell and the plasma?
By facilitated diffusion and active transport
Which process allows salt to travel into a cell?
The action of the sodium-potassium pump which is active transport.
Which process allows salt travel into a cell?
The action of the sodium-potassium pump which is active transport.
Why is a potassium sodium pump needed?
The process of moving sodium and potassium ions across the cell is an active transport process involving the hydrolysis of ATP to provide the necessary energy.
Is the sodium-potassium pump an anti port transport mechanism of reabsorption?
Yes, for every two potassium ions it ports back into the cell it will eject three sodium ions out.
What is the movement of material through a cell membrane that requires energy?
Active transport. The sodium-potassium pump is an example of this.
How do sodium and potassium travel into and out of cells?
The sodium potassium pump transports sodium and potassium into and out of the cell. look at this site. it will explain. Source: http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/olcweb/cgi/pluginpop.cgi?it=swf::535::535::/sites/dl/free/0072437316/120068/bio03.swf::Sodium-Potassium%20Exchange%20Pump
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.
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.
