Question

Really need help with this Biology question:

The picture shows the transport of sodium and potassium ions. The picture shows an Na+/K+ ATPase pump. What is a CORRECT interpretation of the picture?

A) The picture shows a passive transport of sodium and potassium ions.
 
B) Potassium ions are moved out of the cell and sodium ions are moved in.
 
C) The energy for the action of the pump is released by the utilization of ATP.

D) The binding of the Na+ ions changes the conformation of the lipid bilayer.

If someone could help, it'd be very appreciated!

Answer 1

C) The energy for the action of the pump is released by the utilization of ATP.

Answer 2

Yes indeed that the picture shows that the transport of the sodium and potassium ions. The picture shows a passive transport of sodium and potassium ions. And also we can see that the energy for the action of the pump  is being released by the utilization of the ATP. Some are being moved and some are being brought back in.
