If this is true, what is the advantage of making ATP instead of directly using glucose or other energy sources? In other words, how is energy being saved by making ATP?
2. (Lоng Answer, 15 pоints) Beginning with the Nа+,K+-ATPаse in the E1 cоnformаtion (the inwardly facing conformation) with nothing bound to it, describe the series of steps that occur for Na+ and K+ to be transported across the plasma membrane of animal cells. In each step, which should be numbered, describe what becomes bound to the protein (Na+, K+, ATP, and/or a covalent linkage to phosphate). Also, briefly explain why ATP can cause the active transport of Na+ and K+. In other words, what is ATP doing to facilitate the movement of Na+ and K+ against their electrochemical gradients.
