The following statement is not true about the sodium potassium pump

ATP is broken down into ADP and potassium to supply energy

The sodium potassium exchange pump is an example of?

Active transport

What is the source of energy used to power the sodium potassium pump?

Breakdown of ATP

Active transport moves substances from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration of that substance

False

The sodium potassium exchange pump moves three potassium ions out of the cell and two sodium ions into the cell with each cycle

False

The sodium potassium pump functions to pump?

Sodium ions out if the cell and potassium ions into the cell

Not true about the sodium potassium pump

The ions in the extra cellular fluid bind to the carrier, and the potassium attached to the carrier protein in released

The binding and release of sodium or potassium ions are due to conformational changes in the protein?

True

The sodium potassium pump is a trans-membrane protein?
