Medical Sciences

Primary Active Transporter Na+/K+ ATPase pump. Describe how thispump maintains Na+ and K+ ionic gradients across the cell membrane.SECONDARY ACTIVE TRANSPORTERS: How do these secondary transportersbenefit from the ionic gradients created by primary activetransporters? What is the difference betweencotransport/countertransport?

(Please don't write the answer on a separate page all over theplace. I'm new to A&P 1 and I'm still learning, so I need to beexplained, rather than shown notes like what I take in class.)
