Question

Describe the movement of substances in the sodium potassium pump

Answer 1

The concentration of Na+ is greater inside the cell, and the concentration of K+ is greater outside the cell.
The concentrations of Na+ and K+ are both greater outside the cell.
The concentrations of Na+ and K+ are both greater inside the cell.
The concentration of Na+ is greater outside the cell, and the concentration of K+ is greater inside the cell.

Answer 2

The Sodium-Potassium Pump. Active transport is the energy-requiring process of pumping molecules and ions across membranes "uphill" - against a concentration gradient. ... It moves two potassium ions into the cell where potassium levels are high, and pumps three sodium ions out of the cell and into the extracellular fluid.
