The protein pump is active in its function.


Process by which ATP is used to move sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions back into the cell?

This process is called the sodium-potassium pump. It uses ATP to pump sodium ions out of the cell against their concentration gradient and pump potassium ions back into the cell against their concentration gradient. This mechanism helps maintain the appropriate balance of sodium and potassium ions inside and outside the cell, which is crucial for cellular functions such as nerve transmission and muscle contraction.


Is the movement of ions through a protein pump an active or passive process?

The movement of ions through a protein pump is an active process.


Active transport pump that helps move materials form low to high concentrations?

The sodium-potassium pump is an active transport pump that helps move sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell against their concentration gradients. This process requires energy in the form of ATP to pump the ions across the cell membrane. The sodium-potassium pump is essential for maintaining the cell's resting membrane potential and is involved in regulating cell volume and transmitting nerve impulses.
