The sodium-potassium pump transports more ions out of the cell than in. This increases the osmolarity of the cell's exterior while decreasing the osmolarity inside the cell (i.e. makes solution less hypotonic). This prevents the cell from bursting as it decreases the net flow of water into the cell.

What provides energy to run sodium potassium pump?
ATP provides the energy for the sodium potassium pump.
What form of cellular transportation helps human cells maintain their sodium and potassium concentration?
The sodium/potassium pump, the sodium leak channel and the potassium leak channel.
The sodium potassium pump prevents the accumulation of?
Sodium potassium pump prevents accumulation of K out side of cell and Na inside of cell.
What provides the energy that drives the sodium-potassium?
What molecule powers the sodium potassium pump?
Process by which ATP is used to move sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions back into the cell?
Sodium-Potassium pump uses ATP (energy) to pump sodium out of cells and potassium back in.
What provides energy to run sodium potassium pump?
ATP provides the energy for the sodium potassium pump.
What is the sodium potassium pump?
the sodium-potassium pump is one of the most important carrier proteins in the animal cell.
What is the sodium-potassium pump?
the sodium-potassium pump is one of the most important carrier proteins in the animal cell.
What is the active transport mechanism by which cells pump sodium and potassium ions against the concentration gradient.?
sodium-potassium pump
What is a brief description of the action of the sodium-potassium pump?
The sodium-potassium pump is a transmembrane protein in a cell membrane. It keeps large concentrations of sodium ions outside the cell, and potassium ions inside the cell. It does this by pumping the sodium ions out, and the potassium ions in.
What form of cellular transportation helps human cells maintain their sodium and potassium concentration?
The sodium/potassium pump, the sodium leak channel and the potassium leak channel.
Which ions are exchanged in a sodium potassium pump?
3 sodium ions for 2 potassium ions.
In a sodium-potassium pump what molecules are moved and where are they moved to?
In a sodium-potassium pump a carrier protein uses ATP in Active transport. The sodium ions are transported out of the cells and the potassium ions are transported into the cell.
Does facilitated transport have a sodium potassium pump?
The sodium potassium pump requires ATP - i.e. it is involved in active transport, not facilitated transport.
The sodium potassium pump prevents the accumulation of?
Sodium potassium pump prevents accumulation of K out side of cell and Na inside of cell.
The sodium-potassium pump usually pumps?
potassium ions into the cell
