The sodium-potassium pump does not do which of the following actions?
-Moves sodium molecules against their concentration gradient into the cell
using ATP.
-Moves sodium molecules against their concentration gradient out of the cell
using ATP.
-Maintains the cell's physiological needs by establishing an electrochemical
gradient.
-Moves potassium molecules against their concentration gradient into the cell
using ATP.

Sagot :

The sodium-potassium pump does not allow the movement of sodium molecules against their concentration gradient into the cell  with the use of ATP molecules.

In sodium-potassium pump, the sodium moves outside the cell whereas potassium moves inside the cell with the help of using ATP molecules. The sodium-potassium pump maintains the gradient of higher concentration of sodium extracellularly means outside the cell and a higher level of potassium intracellularly means inside the cell. This process is done only in the presence of ATP molecules that provides a force for the movement of sodium and potassium so we can conclude that no movement of sodium occur inside the cell in the sodium-potassium pump.

Answer: Moves sodium molecules against their concentration gradient INTO the cell using ATP.

Explanation:

The sodium-potassium pump moves sodium molecules against their concentration gradient out of the cell and moves potassium molecules against their concentration gradient into the cell. It also helps to regulate internal physiological needs through gradients. However, it doesn’t move sodium ions into the cell—that occurs through passive transport.
