Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
What is the primary function of the sodium-potassium pump?
Steps
Concepts
Step 1: Understand that the sodium-potassium pump is a protein found in the cell membrane.
Step 2: Know that the pump moves sodium (Na+) ions out of the cell.
Step 3: Learn that the pump also moves potassium (K+) ions into the cell.
Step 4: Realize that this movement of ions is important for keeping the cell's electrical balance.
Step 5: Remember that this process requires energy, which is why it is called 'active transport.'
Step 6: Finally, understand that by doing this, the pump helps maintain the resting membrane potential of the cell.
