Question

Ca+ pump include all of the following EXCEPT

(a) It is an ATPase
(b) Pump Ca+ into the cell
(c) Pump Ca+ out of the cell
(d) Pump Ca+ against its concentration gradient

Answer 1

Pump Ca+ into the cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pumps are used for the transportation of substances against the concentration gradient. These pumps require energy for the transportation of molecules against the concentration gradient.

The most common pump used for the transportation of calcium ions is the calcium pump. These pumps require ATPase activity and transfer calcium against the concentration gradient. The calcium ions are pumped outside of the cell and not cell inside.

Thus, the correct answer is option (b).
