Which of them is TRUE about Na – – K+ pump
Correct Answer: 2K+ are exchanged with 5Na+
Description: In Na+-K+ exchange, 3 Na+ goes out and 2K+ goes into the cell with the utilization of ATP.
Hence it is a primary active transport. Due to the net flow of Na+ outwards, there is a potential difference that occurs. Both Na+ and K+ are pumped against a concentration gradient by using ATP.
