The binding of sodium ions (NA+) to a membrane protein is one of the first steps in initiation of the sodium-potassium pump that moves these ions across the membrane. The picture shows the initial step of this process. How does the protein get the energy needed to continue the process of moving NA+ across the cell membrane?
Mitochondria will attach to the protein and provide the energy to push the NA+ through the proteins.
Energy from ADP is released and a channel in the membrane protein permanently opens, resulting in the passage of the NA+
Energy produced from the difference in solute concentration on both sides of the membrane pulls the NA+ through the protein
ATP attaches to the protein and releases a phosphate, making energy available to change the shape of the protein and allowing the passage of the NA+
