the sodium-potassium (Na+/K+) pump transports both sodium and potassium their concentration gradients in a process called
Following the development of a concentration gradient for potassium by the sodium-potassium ATPase pump, what would happen if a potassium ion channel in the cell membrane were to be left open? Sodium would flow out of the cell down its concentration gradient. Potassium would flow out of the cell down its concentration gradient. Sodium would flow into the cell down its concentration gradient. Potassium would flow into the cell down its concentration gradient.
