2. What happens when the pump is phosphorylated?
- It changes shape, decreasing the affinity for the Na+ ions, expelling them outside of the cell
- Na+ ions bind tighter to the pump
3. What happens after the Na+ ions are expelled from the pump?
- The new shape gives a higher binding affinity to K+ ions, 2 can fit into the pump from the extracellular side
- K+ are released as well
