Question
based on the two - step model of glucose transport, what would happen if the supply of atp was depleted from the cell? the sodium - potassium pump would make less of a sodium gradient, so less glucose could be transported across the membrane.
The sodium - potassium pump uses ATP. Without ATP, it can't maintain sodium gradient. Glucose transport depends on this gradient, so less glucose transport.
