Most animal cell membranes have proteins that pump ______ ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell.
A) calcium
B) carbon
C) magnesium
D) sodium

Respuesta :

The answer is D) sodium.

Most cell membranes have a sodium-potassium pump. It is an enzyme that pumps sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell. It moves 3 sodium ions out and 2 potassium ions in. Both ions are transported against the concentration gradient. Thus, the sodium-potassium pump provides one positive charge carrier to the extracellular space.

D sodium
