Regarding the N a^ + /K^ + antiporter that is responsible for hydrolyzing more than half the ATP molecules in a neuron: what is the direction this protein pumps potassium ions? Select one: a. from the cytoplasm to the extracellular fluid b. from the cytoplasm to the nucleus c. from the extracellular fluid to the cytoplasm Od. from the late endosome lumen to the peroxisome e. from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen to the early endosome lumen

resting membrane potential is maintained by the sodium-potassium ion pump or Na^+/K^+ ATPase, which brings: A) two potassium ions into the cytosol, and three sodium ions into the extracellular fluid B) two potassium ions into the cytosol and two sodium ions into the extracellular fluid C) three potassium ions into the cytosol two sodium ions into the extra cellular fluid D) three potassium ions into the cytosol and three sodium ions into the extracellular fluid
