  • @jenny07la The Important characteristic about this pump is that both sodium and potassium ions are moving from areas of low concentration to areas of high concentration. They are moving away from their concentration gradient. This type of movement can only be achieved by the expenditure of ATP energy.

  • The Sodium Potassium Pump is an active transport mechanism. 3 Na+ ions bind to the protein channel and ATP provides the energy to change the shape of the channel that in turn drives the ions through the channel. One phosphate group from the ATP (now ADP) remains bound to the channel. The Sodium ions are released on the other side of the membrane (the OCF) and the new shape has high affinity for K+ ions and 2 of these ions now bind to the channel.

  • @jenny07la I can't thank you enough! My notes were incredibly vague in regards to this section.

  • Man...this is some serious engineering bullshit.
