The sodium -potassium pump is one of the most important

The sodium -potassium pump is one of the most important pumps in all of human physiology. Put the action steps in order from the start of the process to the end. The enzyme/transporter is more attracted to potassium, which carriers low amounts of energy. Once full of sodium, the enzyme/transporter is given energy by ATP. The enzyme/transporter changes shape and dumps its sodium outside of the cell. The phosphate group from the energizing ATP leaves and the enzyme/transporter changes shape dumping potassium into the cell. The enzymeltransporter is open on the cell's interior surface and is very attracted to sodium. The now empty enzyme/transporter is ready to accept new sodium ions.
