Question
A transport protein in the plasma membrane of animal cell that actively transports sodium out of the cell and potassium into the cell.Group of answer choicesproton pumpion channelgated channelsodium-potassium pumpNext
Solution
The correct answer is sodium-potassium pump. This protein uses ATP to pump three sodium ions out of the cell and two potassium ions into the cell, creating an electrochemical gradient.
