Question

During Na+ - K+ pump

Options

A.3Na+ and 2K+ are transported
B.1Na+ and 2K+ are transported
C.3Na+ and 3K+ are transported
D.Depends on requirement of cell

Solution

During sodium-potassium pump, the concentration of sodium ions will be about 14 times more in extra cellular fluid (outside) and concentration of potassium ions will be about 28-30 times more in axoplasm (inside). thus, 3Na+ and 2K+ are transported during the process.
