The Na+/K+ ATPase (or simply Na+ pump) is a ubiquitous membrane transport protein found in all body cell types. Test your basic knowledge of the Na+/K+ ATPase by taking this simple quiz.
(1) The Na+/K+ ATPase is an active transporter.
(2) The Na+/K+ ATPase is a primary active transporter.
(3) The Na+/K+ ATPase is a secondary active transporter.
(4) The Na+/K+/ATPase is an electrogenic transport protein.
(5) For every ATP molecule hydrolyzed by the Na+/K+ ATPase (also referred to as the Na+ pump):
(6) The Na+/K+ ATPase is a housekeeping protein that is found in all body cell types.
