Sodium potassium pump :
sodium potassium pump is a transport protein that maintains a gradient between the sodium and potassium across the cell membrane.
It is vital to the numerous bodily process like heart contractions , nerve signalling and kidney functioning.
The sodium potassium pump uses active transport to move the ions from high concentration to low concentration.
In active transport the pump want to uphill the ions from high concentration to lower concentration . This requires some energy , so sodium potassium pump uses energy from Atp to transfer the ions.
The pump binds 3 sodium ions along with Atp and pumps outside the cell membrane by utilising the energy from splitting the Atp and 2 receives potassium ion into the cell .
Thus the sodium potassium pump works in all processes by using ATP.
out and which ions in. Explain with Source C13/The sodium-potassium pump uses energy to move which...
The sodium potassium uses energy in the form of ATP hydrolysis to move 3 sodium ions out of the cell and 2 potassium ions into the cell. The concentration of sodium inside is 14mM and outside is 143mM. The concentration of potassium inside is 157mM and outside is 4mM. Membrane potential is -50mV and temperature is 310K. Demonstrate that hydrolysis of ATP to ADP provides enough energy to move 3 sodium ions out and 2 potassium ions in to the...

how are the sodium potassium pump and action potential related? as far as I know, the sodium potassium atpase pumps potassium in & sodium out, yet with the action potential sodium is pumped in (depolarization) and potassium is pumped out (repolarization). please explain how they are related?
HUIUU PUIS Cali) 1. Sodium-potassium pump helps nerve cells establish a voltage across their membranes. Explain how these ions are transported across the membrane and how this contributes to membrane potential. What is the role of ATP in this process?
can someone explain how action potential works using the sodium potassium pump? the steps and order of the process? when Na and K go in and out of the cell? thank you
Your classmate is excited to tell you about something they just learned. There’s a toxin named ouabain that was used by East Africans to make poison arrows. “And guess what-ouabain kills people by blocking the sodium/potassium pump that we learned about in BILD 1!” But your classmate is confused about something. “The sodium/potassium pump moves sodium and potassium ions against the concentration gradients, in the opposite direction of how the ions would normally go. But in class we said that...
Magnesium ions move out of a cell through a transmembrane protein down (i.e. with) their concentration gradient. The energy harvested from this movement of magnesium ions is used to move sodium ions into the cell against their concentration gradient. This is an example of which type of transport? symport ABC transport antiport facilitated diffusion
the manner in which potassium ions are transported across the membrane by the potassium channel. a. Provide an explanation as to why potassium cannot cross the plasma membrane without the aid of a potassium channel. b. Provide an protein structure based explanation as to how the potassium channel is able to transport potassium ions through the membrane at a high rate while at the same time preventing the transport of sodium ions which have a smaller ionic radium than potassium...
