Question:
How does a sodium-potassium protein pump work for active transport? (4)
Author: Sammy UniverseAnswer:
3 Na+ ions attach to the binding sites on the pump ATP hydrolysis changes shape of pump (conformation) = expose extracellular binding sites 2 K+ ions attach to these sites = ions are exchanged once the phosphate group is released to make the pump return to its original conformation translocate potassium across membrane
