Yes, because integral proteins extend all the way though the cellular membrane which is necessary because potassium has to be brought from the outside of the cell to the inside and the sodium has to be brought from the inside of the cell to the outside.

Does active transport require a transport protein?
Active transport requires the use of ATP because in active transport things move against the concentration gradient. Usually there is a protien pump (which is a form of a transport protien) that does this.
What is the best carrier protein pump in animal cells?
Animal cells' best-known carrier pump is their stomach.
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.
Does active transport involve phosphoralization?
Yes primary active transport machinery (protein pumps) relies on phosphorylation of the carrier protein. ATP hydrolysis yields the phosphate molecule to interact with the protein pump. This cause the conformational change in the ion channel protein to carry out exchange of ions. For example: sodium-potassium pump: binding of phosphate release sodium from cell, whereas dephosphorylation allows the entry of potassium ions inside the cell.
What are the membrane structures that function in active transport?
transmembrane proteins like a proton pump that pumps hydrogen atoms to the extraacellular space creating a charge difference between the inside of the cell(negative charge) and the outside of the cell(positive charge) by the use of ATP. This charge difference is what allows cotransport through another transmembrane protein to occur.In a nutshell proteins with the use of ATP
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

Where is fuel pump on 02 f250 4.2 ltr diesel?
It is integral with the injector pump on the LH side of the motor
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 items are not part of the integral part of the forklift equipment but is used to hold a load or loads?
A forklift nameplate is only required when the capacity is unknown
Can proton pump inhibitors be used on dogs?
Yes, protein pump inhibitors can be used on dogs.
What type of transport protein is a sodium potassium pump?
It is a carrier protein
