Explanation / Answer

Answer 1. ). Na+/K+ pump is involved in active transport protein.

Explanation: In leak channels, the concentration gradient of the ions is the driving force, it does not require energy, so leak channels are not involved in active transport.

Voltage-gated channels on the other hand driven by the voltage gradient across the cell membrane. This channels too do not use active transport.

Na+/K+ pump is actually known as Na+ /K+ ATPase pump, which uses ATP and is involved ion active transport.

Part B:

The answer is: More negative.

Explanation: Assuming that K+ channel is only allowing K+ to go out of the cell, other ions are not moving.

At resting state inside of cytosol is negatively charged and outside is positively charged ( relative status) . Now losing K+ ion from cytosol means losing positive charge from cytosol ---> so cytosol will become more negative as it is losing positive charge as K+ ions.

Part: C

The function of Na+/K+ATPase pump   : 3 Na+ moves out of cell and 2 K+ moves into the cell.
