The three important roles of the sodium-potassium pump.

Introduction:

The sodium-potassium pump performs the process of moving sodium and potassium ions through the membrane of the cell. It is an active mode of transportation, that is, requires energy in order to pass the molecules. In the process, hydrolysis of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is done to provide the energy that performs an essential role in the process.
