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.
What cell structure is used to prepare for depolarization?
Sodium potassium pump
Is the Sodium Potassium pump located on the apical membrane?
Sodium Potassium pumps are located on your body cells. This pump is used as a type of active transport to let these ions into and out of your cell.
Why does water follow sodium and not potassium in the human body particularly in the kidney nephrons?
It follows both ... but sodium pumps are more common in your body.The only potassium pump I know of is in the kidneys - and is used for osmotic control.
Why called sodium pump?
All animal cells actively throw out Na+ ions and take in K+ ions and this process is facilitated by an integral membrane protein called Na+ - K+ AT Phase or sodium pump, which operates as an anti porter.
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.
What energy is used in the sodium equals potassium pump?
The sodium-potassium pump in a cell's membrane is a form of active transportation that uses ATP (adenosine triphosphate) for energy.
What is the sodium potassium pump an example of?
The sodium potassium pump is an example of a type of ion transporter that operates via ATP. It is used to maintain the Na and K concentration gradient in cells.
What cell structure is used to prepare for depolarization?
Sodium potassium pump
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?
Is the Sodium Potassium pump located on the apical membrane?
Sodium Potassium pumps are located on your body cells. This pump is used as a type of active transport to let these ions into and out of your cell.
What is the mechanism in which ATP is used to move sodium out of the cell and potassium into the cell restores the resting membrane voltage and intracellular ionic concentrations?
Repolarization The questioner was looking for the mechanism not the process. The answer is the sodium potassium pump.

Is sodium chloride or potassium chloride good for foods?
Sodium chloride is common table salt and is used in many foods, more often than potassium chloride. Potassium chloride is often used as a substitute as many people consume too much sodium, but it doesn't taste as good.
How would a lower concentration of intracellular ATP affect the sodium potassium pump in cancer cells?
Less pump action, of course. One ATP is used per cycle in this pump.
How many edible salts are there?
The most important is sodium chloride; persons with heart diseases can eat potassium chloride. Many other salts are used as food additives in very low concentrations: potassium iodate, potassium iodide, sodium citrate, sodium phosphates, sodium monoglutamate, sodium acetate, sodium tartrate, ammonium chloride etc.
