TRUE OR FALSE: The sodium–potassium pump maintains a high sodium ion concentration in the cell.
FALSE
explanation: The sodium–potassium (Na+–K+) pump is a good example of primary active transport. It is also known as Na+–K+ ATPase because it is an enzyme that hydrolyzes ATP. The Na+–K+ pump binds three Na+ simultaneously on the cytoplasmic side of the membrane, releases these to the ECF, binds two K+ simultaneously from the ECF, and releases these into the cell. Each cycle of the pump consumes one ATP and exchanges three Na+ for two K+. This keeps the K+ concentration higher and the Na+ concentration lower within the cell than they are in the ECF. These ions continually leak through the membrane, and the Na+–K+ pump compensates like bailing out a leaky boat.
TRUE OR FALSE: Both symport and antiport require transport proteins.
TRUE
explanation: There are three kinds of carriers: uniports, symports, and antiports. A uniport carries only one type of solute. For example, most cells pump out calcium by means of a uniport, maintaining a low intracellular concentration so calcium salts don’t crystallize in the cytoplasm. Some carriers move two or more solutes through a membrane simultaneously in the same direction; this process is called cotransport and the carrier protein that performs it is called a symport. For example, absorptive cells of the small intestine and kidneys have a symport that takes up sodium and glucose simultaneously. Other carriers move two or more solutes in opposite directions; this process is called countertransport and the carrier protein is called an antiport. For example, nearly all cells have an antiport called the sodium–potassium pump that continually removes Na+ from the cell and brings in K+.

b. carrier proteins
