Question

During the action of a sodium-potassium pump, 50 ATP molecules were spent. Predict how many sodium ions are transported across the cell membrane.

A) 50
B) 100
C) 150
D) 200

Answer 1

150

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

As we knw that ATP molecule allows 3 Na+ to move out of the cell and 2 K+ will definitely enter. So as a result 50 ATP molecules allow 150 Sodium ions to move out and therefore allows 100 Potassium ions to move in
so i conclude option C is correct
hope it helps
