What does the sodium-potassium ATPase pump do? Moves 3 Na$^+$ out and 2 K$^+$ in using ATP Moves Na$^+$ and K$^+$ equally without ATP Moves 2 Na$^+$ out and 3 K$^+$ in using ATP Moves Na$^+$ into the cell without moving K$^+$

$\mathrm{Na} / \mathrm{K}$ pumps transports (a) $3 \mathrm{Na}^{+}$ out for $2 \mathrm{~K}^{+}$ in (b) $3 \mathrm{Na}^{+}$ in for $2 \mathrm{~K}^{+}$ out (c) $2 \mathrm{Na}^{+}$ out for $3 \mathrm{~K}^{+}$ in (d) $2 \mathrm{Na}^{+}$ in for $3 \mathrm{~K}^{+}$ out
A sodium-potassium pump moves three sodium ions out of a cell and two potassium ions into a cell using energy from ATP hydrolysis. This process occurs while producing ATP for each cycle.
