3 Na+ ions attach to the transporter. ATP hydrolyzes, releasing a phosphate which binds to the transporter, causing a conformational change that releases the Na+ ions and phosphate to the cytosol. The decrease in Na+ ions causes an electrochemical gradient in the cell which attracts the K+ ions to the transporter which are brought in passively due to the electrochemical gradient. This maintains the membrane potential and osmotic pressure of the cell.

What is the NaK ATPase?
my answer would be a sodium potassium, clot buster used for thrombis or pulmonary emboli.
What is the membrane ATPase and what does it do?
ATPase Is an enzyme that works in and around the membrane to break down ATP (Energy Made By The Mitochondria) into ADP
What is a Nak?
A nak is an informal term for a female yak.
Active transport pump that helps move materials form low to high concentrations?
Thesodium-potassium pump uses active transport to move 3 sodium ions to the outside of the cell for each 2 potassium ions that it moves in.
The role of the sodium potassium pump in maintaining a cells resting membrane potential?
The relative concentration of sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) in the neuron with respect to their concentration in the extracellular space is what causes the electrical potential and the differential concentration is established by a Na-K Atpase which exudes sodium and transports potassium into the neuron.
What is the NaK ATPase?
my answer would be a sodium potassium, clot buster used for thrombis or pulmonary emboli.
What is the purpose of the ATPase proton pump?
ATPase pumps the protons out of the system which gives reducing power
Why do plannts need potassium?
Cell transport (food in, waste out) is driven by the Na+/K+ ATPase pump. Works for both plants and animals.

What value is the active transport of potassium ion which requires ATP?
Na+/K+ ATPase active transport pump
A transporter protien that carries a substance across a cellular membrane against its concentration gradient?
Sodium potassium ATPase pump.
