39. P Extracellular fluid 1. Three sodium ions (Na + ) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) bind to the carrier protein. 2. The ATP breaks down to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and a phosphate (P) and releases energy. 3 . The carrier protein changes shape, and the Na + are transported across the membrane. 4 . The Na + diffuse away from the carrier protein. 5 . Two potassium ions (K + ) bind to the carrier protein. 6 . The phosphate is released. 7 . The carrier protein changes shape, transporting K + across the membrane, and the K + diffuse away from the carrier protein. The carrier protein can again bind to Na + and ATP.
