Is sodium-potassium pump a uniporter?
Yes, certainly enzymes are involved and energy is expended.
Absorption of glucose from the gut lumen depends on?
the sodium-potassium pump in the basolateral membrane of the epithelial cell, cotransporter proteins in the apical membrane of the epithelial cell, and higher sodium ion concentration in the lumen than in the epithelial.
This kind of ion may serve as a cofactor to catalyze a reaction?
A metal ion may serve as a cofactor to catalyze a reaction...just looked it up
What regulates which substances enter and leave a cell?
The plasma membrane. Carrier proteins and ion channels are parts of the plasma membrane, and aid in diffusion across concentration gradients, as most things don't freely move from one end of the cell membrane to the other. The Sodium-Potassium pump is a major ion channel in the plasma membrane, and regulates the intake of potassium and export of sodium (3 molecules sodium out, 2 molecules potassium in.)
Name the membrane valves that open and close for potassium efflux and sodium influx?
ion channels
What is the change of ion pump to move ion across the cell membrane?
Sodium Potassium pump
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 type of transport protein is a sodium potassium pump?
It is a carrier protein
What is the difference in sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide?
The difference is that sodium hydroxide contains the sodium ion (Na+) while potassium hydroxide contains the potassium ion (K+). Sodium and potassium are two different elements, though they have different properties.
What would happen to the rate of ion transport if you increased the number of sodium-potassium pump proteins?
the transport will speed up
What elements will most likely form an ion with a plus 1 charge?
Sodium (Na), Lithium (Li), or Potassium (K).
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
What is the major positive ion outside of cells?
Sodium is the major positive ion outside the cell. Potassium is the major positive ion inside the cell.
What is a sodium-ion pump?
The sodium pump is actually known as the sodium potassium pump. Most cells in the body need to contain a higher concentration of potassium ions (K+) than their environment. They also need to contain a lower number of sodium ions (Na+) than their environment. To achieve this the cell constantly pumps sodium ions out and potassium ions in. This requires energy, and therefore is called active transport. This is carried out by transporter proteins in the plasma membrane, working with ATP which supplies the energy. The ATP changes the shape of the transporter protein, the shape change moves 3 sodium ions out of the cell and 2 potassium ions in. This is called the sodium potassium pump.

Main intracellular ion maintains icf osmotic pressure?
Potassium is the major intracellular ion, not sodium as was previously answered. Sodium is the major extracellular ion (along with chloride, and smaller amounts of potassium and bicarbonate)
