Answer: ATPase

Explanation: The sodium potassium pump is also known as ATPase.

This pump works by pumping potassium ions into the cell while pushing the sodium ions outside of the cell which is used to generate action potential across the cell membrane.

This pump performs active transport and the energy used for this process is derived from adenosine triphosphate. ATP is hydrolyzed and energy is energy is released which is used by this pump.

What can you conclude about the advantage of the cell membrane being made up of phospholipids?
sergiy2304 [10]
The phospholipid bilayer is a universal component of all cell membranes. Each phospholipid molecule has a hydrophobic(water repelling) and a hydrophilic( attracted to water) end. This allows the phospholipids to arrange themselves in a way that makes a cell membrane not able to dissolve in water. The bilayer is also semi-permeable which allows only certain molecules to enter the cell.
