Why is the sodium potassium pump important factor of primary active transport?
Wiki User

The sodium potassium pump uses ATP to reach the stimulus and move muscle tissue (primarily skeletal muscle). The threshold stimulus must be reached in order to carry out the full signal.

What substances are transported by active transport?
Sodium Potassium
What value is the active transport of potassium ion which requires ATP?
Na+/K+ ATPase active transport pump
Is glucose molecule passive or active transport?
Secondary active transport aka facilitated diffusion [depending on your teacher].
In active transport carrier proteins?
sodium-potassium pump.
How does secondary active transport work?
Active transport requires energy (ATP, GTP, etc) to work against the electrochemical gradient. Passive transport works with the electrochemical gradient and does not require energy. (Think diffusion)
Differences between primary and secondary active transport?
In primary active transport, the transport protein gets phosphorylated; in secondary active transport, the transport protein is not phosphorylated
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.
What substances are transported by active transport?
Sodium Potassium
Does facilitated transport have a sodium potassium pump?
The sodium potassium pump requires ATP - i.e. it is involved in active transport, not facilitated transport.
An example of active transport?
sodium-potassium pump
Sodium potassium pump is an example of what?
Active transport
What value is the active transport of potassium ion which requires ATP?
Na+/K+ ATPase active transport pump
Is glucose molecule passive or active transport?
Secondary active transport aka facilitated diffusion [depending on your teacher].
3 examples of active transport?
Primary Active Transport Secondary Active Transport Exocytosis/Endocytosis
In active transport carrier proteins?
sodium-potassium pump.
Is a sodium potassium pump active or passive transport and describe why.?
Potassium is distributed by passive diffusion.
A form of active transport in cells?
B. a soudium-potassium pump.
