115
Q

Points to remember about na+/k+ pump

A

1) A cell at rest is negative on the inside.
2) The reason it is negative on the inside due to amount of K. Circle K.
3) Once this charge flips due to sodium coming in. This creates a spark. (Action potential). Known as depolarization.
4) repolarization or back to rest. K+

116
Q

Depolarization is because of Na+ what is repolarization.

125
Q

ATP energy is used how to move substances in active transport

A
