Question

State whether the following statements are true or false.
In the sodium-potassium pump, sodium is transported out of the cell and potassium is trapsported into the cell as ATP is broken by a membrane protein.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

ATP acts as a solute pump, it's an enzyme that pumps out sodium and pumping potassium in the cells, exports three sodium, and two potassium ions. It is an active transport leading to the hydrolysis of ATP molecules to provide the required energy.

So correct answer is 'True'.
