Answer:
The correct answer is C) using the sodium potassium pump involves the hydrolysis of ATP and the release of Na+ to the outside of the cell.
Step-by-step explanation:
The movement of Na+ and K+ ions across the plasma membrane by the hydrolysis of ATP is an example of active transport because Na+ and K+ ions are transported in the uphill direction against their concentration gradient.
But in facilitated diffusion molecules are transported along their concentration gradient by the help of carrier protein or channel protein without requirement of addition energy from outside.
