Does the sodium-potassium pump move?

1 Answer

Answer:

The pumping method of sodium-potassium pushes sodium and potassium ions against elevated concentration levels. It transfers two potassium ions into the cell where the levels of potassium are high, and pumps three sodium ions into the extracellular fluid and out of the cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

ATP's hydrolysis is an active transport mechanism by the passage of sodium and potassium ions across the cell membrane to provide the required energy.
