Poisons like cyanide inhibit Na^(+) influx during cellular transport. This inhibitory effect is reversed by an injection of ATP. This demonstrates that

Poisons like cyanide inhibit Na^(+) influx during cellular transport. This inhibitory effect is reversed by an injection of ATP. This demonstrates that

The function of Na^(+) and k^(+) pump is to

In Na^(+) - K^(+) pump of active transport there is

[A] : Most of the solutes in ECF and cytoplasm are electrolytes, i.e., electrically charged par- ticles or ions. Maintenance of an equilibrium between intracellular fluid and ECF is vitally essential for all cells. [R]: This osmotic equilibrium is maintained by sodium and potassium pump of the cells. It operates with the help of a Na^+, K^+ ATP as enzyme located in the cell membrane.

[A] : Active transport results in solute movement against a concentration gradient . [R] : Acitve transport of Na^(+) , K^(+) is energized by ATP .

Consider the following statements regading Na-K Pump 1. It utilizes ATP. 2. It acts on a resting neuron. 3. It invloves efflux of 3 Na^(+) per ATP. 4. It involves influx of 2 K^(+) per ATP. 5. Metabolic poisons stop the pump.
