Question

Please answer the following biochem question

The Na+/K+ ATPase of the plasma membrane catalyzes the exchange of Na+ and K+ ions across the membrane. From the following list of statement, select all that correctly describe features or properties of this transport system. Pumps Na+ ions out of the cell. Pumps Na+ ions into the cell. Pumps K+ ions out of the cell. Pumps K+ ions into the cell. Exchanges 3 Na+ ions for 2 K+ ions. Exchanges 3 K+ ions for 2 Na+ ions. Creates a membrane potential that is negative on the inside. Creates a membrane potential that is positive on the inside. The transport protein becomes phosphorylated by ATP during the transport cycle. The transport protein becomes adenylated by ATP during the transport cycle.
