sodium cations / potassium cations

sodium anions/ potassium anions

Explanation / Answer

C) Sodium cations/potassium cations.

The sodium/potassium ATPase, also called Na/K pump, is present in the plasme membrane. It pumps three Na+ out of a cell while pumping two K+ ions in. This results in a net transfer of positive charges out of the cell.
