Great job at explaining! Extremely helpful and easy to follow

Glad you enjoyed it!

Hi! amazing video. Just wanted to ask, the diagram illustrates the same protein over the different stages of the process right? So the protein can basically open up from the bottom and the top to receive or release ions?

[@ghcbiology4183]

Thank you! Yes, the Na/K pump is a protein that has binding sites for both Na and K. The protein structure itself has 3 binding sites for Na, and 2 binding sites for K. It changes shape when the different ions bind so it can open from the bottom or the top. Hope this helps! :)

Isn’t atp used for active transport tho

[@ghcbiology4183]

Hi Risha, Yes, ATP is used for active transport. ATP is our "energy currency." It's used all over the body. If we need power (energy) to transport something across the membrane, then cells will use ATP to get the molecule across. This is "active" transport. If we don't need energy to get a substance across it is "passive" transport. Active transport has primary and secondary categories depending on the timing (first step or second step) ATP is used. Hope this helps answer your question. :)

You're welcome

[@nazreensofiahazleen7238]

Thank you, I can finally understand the difference between first active transport and secondary active transport!

[@ghcbiology4183]

You are welcome!
