Chapter 1, The Cell in Health and Illness

Multiple Choice
Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question.

____ 1. Which statement regarding the sodium–potassium pump is correct?

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.
