Yes. It is open to the cytoplasm and has a high affinity and three binding sites for sodium ions which dock in the trans-member protein pump. An ATP phosphorylates the pump and a conformational change causes the pump to expose the sodium ions to the extra cellular space due to low affinity for sodium ions in this conformation. This conformation has high affinity for potassium ions and two ions dock on the protein pump. The phosphate group that was on the pump disassociates and a conformational change exposes the potassium ions to the cytoplasm where they, now having low affinity for the pump, fall into the cytoplasm. The cycle repeats. and the electrical balance, slight positivity on the outside of the cell and slight negativity on the inside of the cell, is maintained.

Mitochondria produce ATP by?

Mitochondria produce ATP through a process called oxidative phosphorylation, which involves the electron transport chain and ATP synthase enzyme. This process generates energy from the breakdown of nutrients, such as glucose, to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as the cell's main energy source.


What molecule does a protein pump use for energy?

A protein pump, such as the sodium-potassium pump in cells, uses ATP (adenosine triphosphate) as the molecule for energy. ATP provides the necessary energy for the pump to actively transport ions across the cell membrane.

How many ATP molecules does fermentation produce during cellular respiration?

Fermentation does not produce ATP molecules during cellular respiration. Instead, fermentation occurs in the absence of oxygen to regenerate NAD+ for glycolysis to continue. This process does not directly generate ATP.


During rapid exercise how do your muscles produce ATP?

Fueled by the metabolism of sugar, the ATP byproducts (ADP) are reconstituted into ATP molecules. Use of ATP energy requires no oxygen - when the ATP is depleted the muscle cells must use cellular respiration to obtain energy and once the muscle is at rest the ATP stores are replenished.
