the sodium-potassium pump moves ions across a cellular membrane. what conditions need to be met for a single cycle of na /k pump activity to occur?

Respuesta :

To complete a single cycle of Na /K pump it requires,

  • Potassium outside the cell
  • sodium inside the cell
  • ATP for providing energy to the pump.

A protein pump called the Na/K pump can be discovered in the cell membrane of neurons (and other animal cells). In a ratio of 3 sodium ions out for every 2 potassium ions taken in, it functions to transport sodium and potassium ions across the cell membrane.

With specialized tasks related to the production of the action potential, the Na/K pump is an active transporter that employs ATP hydrolysis as an energy source to transfer both ions across the neuron membrane despite their concentration gradients.
