Active Transport – Sodium-Potassium Pump: One of the most important membrane transport proteins in human cells is the sodium ion-potassium ion pump. On pages 81-82, your textbook covers the importance of maintaining electrochemical gradients across the plasma membrane. Animal cells do this primarily by regulating the concentrations of sodium ions (Na+) and potassium ions (K+) […]
