Multiple Choice
Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question.
____ 1.Which statement regarding the sodium–potassium pump is correct?
1. The cell’s plasma membrane is more soluble to sodium ions than
potassium ions.
2. The concentration of sodium ions should be higher inside the cell
compartment.
3. The concentration of potassium ions should be higher outside the
cell compartment.
4. The active transport involves pumping out three sodium ions and
pumping in two potassium ions.
____ 2. In the absence of oxygen, which cellular function creates the same amount of
energy as is created in the presence of oxygen?
1. Dissipation of pyruvic acid
2. Initiation of the citric acid cycle
3. Activation of acetyl-coenzyme A
4. Creation of acidosis via lactic acid
____ 3. How many adenosine triphosphates (atps) are produced in aerobic energy
metabolism?
