Describe how an ATP is important to the SGLT carrier
What will be an ideal response?
Since the SGLT is a secondary active transporter, it does not rely on ATP directly. However, it relies on a steep concentration gradient for Na+ ions, which is maintained by the Na+-K+ pumps that use ATP directly. The SGLT binds to Na+ ions and also glucose molecules in the ECF. Only by binding to both substances can the SGLT transport them into the cell. The Na+ ions move down their concentration gradient while the glucose moves up its own gradient.
