What else can I help you with?
Do ions need a transport protein to enter bilayer?
Yes! K+ or Na+ or exchanged with its specific potassium and sodium pump protein on the membrane.
In active transport carrier proteins?
sodium-potassium pump.
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.
Through what type of proteins does active transport occur?
Active transport occurs through carrier proteins that pump molecules against their concentration gradient using energy from ATP. These carrier proteins undergo conformational changes to transport molecules across the cell membrane.
What molecule powers the sodium potassium pump?
The sodium-potassium pump is powered by ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP provides the energy needed for the pump to actively transport three sodium ions out of the cell and two potassium ions into the cell against their respective concentration gradients.
Is the sodium potassium pump a carrier protein?
Yes, the sodium-potassium pump is a type of carrier protein that helps transport sodium and potassium ions across the cell membrane.
Is the sodium potassium pump a protein?
Yes, the sodium-potassium pump is a protein.
Does facilitated transport have a sodium potassium pump?
The sodium potassium pump requires ATP - i.e. it is involved in active transport, not facilitated transport.
What protein that allows ions to actively transport across?
The transport protein allows substances to travel across the cell membrane. The substance is traveling from low concentration to a higher concentration. The process requires energy and is called active transport. The protein is simply called a transport protein.
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?
Do ions need a transport protein to enter bilayer?
Yes! K+ or Na+ or exchanged with its specific potassium and sodium pump protein on the membrane.
What is the active transport mechanism by which cells pump sodium and potassium ions against the concentration gradient.?
sodium-potassium pump
What is difference between Na gate and Na pump?
The Na gate is a channel protein on the cell membrane that allows sodium ions to pass through, contributing to the generation of action potentials. The Na pump, or sodium-potassium pump, is an active transport protein that maintains the concentration gradient of sodium and potassium ions across the cell membrane by pumping sodium out of the cell and potassium into the cell.
An example of active transport?
sodium-potassium pump
Sodium potassium pump is an example of what?
Active transport
In active transport carrier proteins?
sodium-potassium pump.
What kind of protein is the sodium-potassium pump?
a carrier protien
