Given normal ion concentrations in a resting cell, what is one way that type of transport that would allow sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) to move from inside the cell to outside the cell? Sodium on it's own: simple diffusion; Potassium on it's own: ion channel Sodium and Potassium together: symporter Sodium and Potassium together: Na/K ATPase Sodium on its own: uniporter; Potassium on its own: Na/K ATPase O 00 O
