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

A

ATP is the carrier protein in the transport system

B

`Na^(+) - K^(+)` exchange pump operates in the cell

C

ATP is hydrolyzed by ATPase to release energy

D

Energy for `Na^(+) - K^(+)` exchange pump comes from ATP

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

ATP is the carrier proteins that carry `3Na^(+)` to move in and `2k^(+)` move out in the transport system for the generation of nerve impulse.

Na^+ - K^+ pump is found in membranes of many cells like nerve cells. It works against electrochemical gradient and involves an integral protein ATPase. At the cost of one ATP, ionic gradient across the resting member is maintained by Na^+ - K^+ pump by transporting
