Question

2. Under physiological conditions, the Na*-K pump transports sodium and potassium across the membrane through the hydrolysis of ATP. This occurs in a sequence of steps. A. (5pts) Beginning with the START step, put the other steps a-e (currently listed in random order) of the Na*-K pump's mechanism in order to complete a full cycle of transport. START-The protein is phosphorylated open to the extracellular side, and contains 2 K* ions. a. ATP hydrolysis, protein phosphorylation, and ADP release open the protein to the extracellular side. b. The protein binds ATP which opens the protein to the cytoplasmic side. C. The protein closes & dephosphorylates. d. 3 Na+ exit into the extracellular space, and 2 K+ enter into the protein. e. 2 K exit into the cytoplasm, 3 Na enter into the protein, and the protein closes.

Explanation / Answer

the sequence as the answer to this question will be

b->a->d->e->c,as this is the sequence of events of active transport via the membrane.
