Sodium- potassium pumps
A) use ATP molecules to move protons to the inner side of cell membranes.
B) move three potassium ions and two sodium ions while producing an ATP for each cycle.
C) produce ATP for cells while making the outside of cell membranes negatively charged.
D) move two potassium ions and three sodium ions while consuming an ATP for each cycle.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sodium-potassium pumps move two potassium ions and three sodium ions while consuming an ATP molecule for each cycle. This helps to maintain the concentration gradient of these ions across the cell membrane, which is essential for many cellular processes, including nerve and muscle function.
