Question

How would you explain the mechanism of sodium-potassium pump?

Answer 1

$\mathbb{\huge{\pink{ANSWER}}}$

The sodium-potassium pump is found in many cell (plasma) membranes. Powered by ATP, the pump moves sodium and potassium ions in opposite directions, each against its concentration gradient. In a single cycle of the pump, three sodium ions are extruded from and two potassium ions are imported into the cell.

Answer 2

hello

Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase is an enzyme found in the plasma membrane of all animal cells. It performs several functions in cell physiology. The Na⁺ /K⁺ -ATPase enzyme is a solute pump that pumps potassium into cells while pumping sodium out of cells, both against their concentration gradients. This pumping is active
