Which of the following is not a part of the sodium-potassium pump?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct sequence of events in the sodium-potassium pump is as follows: Three sodium ions bind to the protein on the cytoplasmic side of the membrane, ATP binds to the protein and is hydrolyzed, resulting in the release of a phosphate group, the protein changes shape and releases the three sodium ions to the outside of the cell, two potassium ions bind to the protein on the extracellular side, the phosphate group is released, causing the protein to change back to its original state and release the two potassium ions into the cytoplasm. Therefore, phosphate does not facilitate potassium ion binding, making choice C incorrect.
