Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sodium-potassium pump is a type of membrane protein that uses ATP to actively transport sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell. This is known as primary active transport, as it directly uses cellular energy (ATP) to power the movement of ions against their concentration gradient.
