Question

the sodium-potassium pump maintains a high sodium ion concentration in the cell. true or false

Explanation:

The sodium - potassium pump moves 3 sodium ions out of the cell and 2 potassium ions into the cell. So, it actually maintains a low sodium ion concentration inside the cell and a high sodium ion concentration outside the cell. Therefore, the statement "The sodium - potassium pump maintains a high sodium ion concentration in the cell" is false.

Answer:

False
