ELECTROCHEMICAL GRADIENTS AND MEMBRANE POTENTIAL. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY ACTIVE TRANSPORT. Na+ AND K+ PUMPS
Keywords:
gradient, potassium pump, sodium pump, active transport, primary active transport, secondary active transport, membrane, concentration gradient, potential, ion, ATP, symporter, antiporter.Abstract
In this article, we will discuss in detail the gradient of molecules that exist across cell membranes, how this gradient can help or hinder the transport of substances, and how active transport mechanisms allow molecules to move against their gradients.
