Study Notes
Energy Source and Transport Type of Sodium-Potassium Pump
- The primary energy source used by the sodium-potassium pump is ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
- The sodium-potassium pump exhibits active transport, as it uses energy to pump ions against their concentration gradients.
Role of Sodium-Potassium Pump in Animal Cells
- The main role of the sodium-potassium pump in animal cells is to maintain the proper balance of sodium and potassium ion concentrations.
Electrogenic Pump in Plants
- The primary electrogenic pump in plants is the proton pump.
