Question

The process of the plasma membrane pumping excess sodium out of a cell into an environment where there is a lower concentration of sodium is called _________.

Question 9 options:

diffusion.

osmosis.

active transport.

coupled transport.

Answer 1

Active transport

Step-by-step explanation:

The pumping of sodium ions out of the cell into the environment where there is a lower concentration is achieved through active transport. Active transport is the movement of molecules or ions against a concentration gradient across living cell membranes with the utilization of ATP. Active transport takes place through carries located in the membrane.
