The manner in which several different ions and molecules move through a cell membrane is shown in the diagram above. For each lo
n or molecule, the relative concentration on each side of the membrane is indicated. Which of the following accurately describes one of the movements taking place?
A
Glucose is transported into the cell by active transport
Subm
B
Nat is transported into the cell by active transport
с
The movement of glucose through the membrane requires ATP hydrolysis
D
Na transport out of the cell requires ATP hydrolysis
The correct answer is - D
. Na transport out of the cell requires ATP hydrolysis
Explanation:
Sodium-ion moves or transported from the inside of the cell to the outside the cell by the process called active transport. Active transport takes place takes place when the movement is against the concentration gradient to a higher concentration area through the cell membrane.
Active transport requires energy in order to transport the molecules or ions from low concentration to high concentration. In sodium-potassium pump get the energy from the hydrolysis of the ATP.
