Why is active transport necessary for the sodium-potassium pump to work?

Answer:

B. It allows sodium and potassium to move against their concentration gradient

Explanation:

The role of sodium and potassium pump in the body is to help move ions against their concentration gradient. There are two types of transport (1) active transport (2) passive transport.

Passive transport is a natural phenomenon in which ions move from high concentration to lower concentration. In such transport no ATP/energy is required. In contrast to this, active transport is a kind of transport which occurs against concentration gradient and in order to facilitate this opposite movement of ions they require ATP/energy input. Sodium and potassium pumps perform active transport in our body. In neurons they play an important role of ion exchange. They move sodium and potassium ions against their concentration gradient for which they require ATP and thus help in basic functioning of neurons.

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Green roof is a roof with vegetation growing in it. The vegetation is usually grown above a waterproof cover.</em> Many factors have to be considered while installing a green roof.  

First is <em>sunlight availability</em>. While installing green roofs it has to be ensured that its location  has adequate sunlight availability. If not the plants that require less sunlight must be chosen. The roof should be <em>flat or have low inclination.</em> The maximum allowable inclination is 30 degree.  

The choice of plants has to be made according to the climate of the region. <em>The dry or wet nature of the region’s weather decides the type of plants grown there.  </em>
