The sodium-potassium pump is considered active transport.Group of answer choicesTrueFalse

The cellular process known as the sodium-potassium (Na-K) pump was discovered in the late 1950s by Jens Christian Skou, a Danish scientist. This process is a form of active transport that moves 3 Na ions to the outside of the cell for every 2 K ions that it moves into the cell. Which of these best explains why energy is needed for active transport?Ask Studybuddy (Login to use)Group of answer choicesIons are trapped inside the plasma membraneIons are negatively chargedIons are attached to larger proteinsThere is an unequal ratio of Na to K ions being transportedIons are moved against the concentration gradient

Choose characteristics of the sodium-potassium ion pump.Multiple select question.Pumps sodium out of the cell against its concentration gradientUses ATPIs an example of passive transportPumps potassium along its concentration gradient

Passage of substance across cell membrane against concentration gradient requires energy in the form of ATP and it is called Active transport. Which of the following is the example of secondary active co-transport?Select one:a. Sodium potassium ATPase pumpb. Sodium hydrogen transportc. Sodium glucose transportd. Hydrogen pump

During primary active transport, the Na+/K+ ATPase pump:pushes 3 Na+ out of the cell and 2 K+ into the cella channel protein pushes Na+ and K+ against their concentration gradientspushes 2 K+ out of the cell and 3 Na+ into the celluses ADP directly as the primary source of energy

The sodium-potassium ion pump uses active transport therefore it requires Blank______.Multiple choice question.a favorable electrostatic gradienta favorable concentration gradientan investment of ATP
