| sodium-potassium pump |
An example of the active transport of molecules across cell membranes. It maintains the electrochemical gradient across the cell membrane and is used in the ATP energy production system. Moving three sodium ions in the opposite direction of two potassium ions, the pump pushes positively charged ions out of the cell, causing the interior of the cell to become relatively negative.
