In animal cells, the Na⁺-K⁺ translocating ATPase A) removes 2 Na⁺ for each 3 K⁺ pumped into the cell. B) is an antiport system. C) is an active transport process required to maintain a high intracellular Na⁺ ion concentration. D) increases the concentration of Na⁺ ions in the cell that may interfere with various enzyme systems. E) uses the energy from one ATP molecule for each Na⁺-K⁺ pair transported.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Na+/K+ translocating ATPase is an antiport system because it pumps Na+ out of the cell and K+ into the cell against their concentration gradients, using ATP as the energy source.
