Answer:

Sodium potassium pump works by following several steps. 

Explanation:

1. Carrier protein binds three molecules of Na+ 

2. ATP is split, phosphate bonds to carrier. 

3. Carrier protein changes shape, and deposits Na on the outside of the cell. 

4. Carrier binds two molecules of K 

5. Phosphate is released. 

6. Potassium is released inside the cell 

Sodium -potassium pump is essential to maintain the concentration of sodium and potassium outside and inside the cell respectively.

It is the function of sodium potassium pump to transport sodium out of the cell and potassium inside of the cell against a concentration gradient.

Thus it is an active transport mechanism.

Which features of Mt. Lico isolate the forest on the mountain from the surrounding area?

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer: See explanation below for answer.

Explanation: Mount Lico is an inselberg, meaning that it is an isolated mountain that rises abruptly from the surrounding plain. At the top of the mountain is a forest that lacks exploration and exploitation by humans.

The mountain is located the Zambezia province in northern Mozambique. It is 1,100 meters or 3,600 feet above sea level, and this is the major reason why it lacks exploitation by humans.

The features of Mount Lico that isolate the forest on top the mountain from the surrounding area are its height and sheer rock walls (which can be up to 700 meters).
