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 else can I help you with?
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.
What type of transport protein is a sodium potassium pump?
It is a carrier protein
Through what type of proteins does active transport occur?
Active transport occurs through carrier proteins that pump molecules against their concentration gradient using energy from ATP. These carrier proteins undergo conformational changes to transport molecules across the cell membrane.
Is the sodium potassium pump a carrier protein?
the carrier protein of Na-k pump is an ion carrier protein and the pump cannot be termed as the carrier protein its a biochemical phenomenon
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.
How does a protein transport substances across a cell membrane?
carrier protein
What kind of protein is the sodium-potassium pump?
a carrier protien
Is carrier proteins passive transport or active transport?
Carrier proteins can use active or passive transport depending on what type of carrier protein it is (meaning what the protein transports). The form of passive transport that they use is facilitated diffusion. An example of active transport is the Sodium Potassium pump. Active transport requires ATP. Facilitated diffusion is used to transport polar molecules and ions that cannot directly cross the cell membrane. Facilitated diffusion doesn't require energy.
How do carrier protein recognize substances to transport in active transport?
substance to pass
Protein used to transport specific substances?
carrier proteins
What is a carrier protein?
A carrier protein is a type of protein that helps transport specific molecules across cell membranes. These proteins bind to molecules on one side of the membrane and release them on the other side, facilitating their movement into or out of cells. Carrier proteins play a crucial role in maintaining cellular function by regulating the transport of essential molecules.
What are the protein molecules in a cell membrane that assist in cell transport?
Protein molecules are responsible for membrane transport. In passive transport diffusion is the phenomenon in which molecules flow naturally from areas of high concentration to lower concentrations.
