Question 8 options:
simultaneously moving 3 Na ions out of the cell and 2 K ions into the the cell
simultaneously moving 3 Na ions out the cell and 3 K ions into the cell
simultaneously moving 3 Na ions into the cell and 3 K ions out of the cell
simultaneously moving 1 Na ions into the cell and 1 K ions out of the cell
A)simultaneously moving 3 Na ions out of the cell and 2 K ions into the the cell
B)simultaneously moving 3 Na ions out the cell and 3 K ions into the cell
C)simultaneously moving 3 Na ions into the cell and 3 K ions out of the cell
D)simultaneously moving 1 Na ions into the cell and 1 K ions out of the cell
Explanation / Answer
The Na/K ATPase pumps located in the plasma membrane of most cells act by simultaneously moving 3 Na ions out of the cell and 2 K ions into the cell.
