Summary of Sodium Potassium Pump

00:00:00 - 00:05:00

The sodium potassium pump is a type of pump that is responsible for maintaining the cell's electrochemical gradient. This gradient is important for transporting critical molecules.

• 00:00:00 This video discusses the sodium potassium pump, a type of pump that requires energy to function. This pump is important for maintaining a resting membrane potential in cells, and it is able to move ions between high and low concentration. This process creates an electrochemical gradient, which is why cells are more negative inside than outside when at rest.
