    The source of energy used to power the sodium-potassium pump is through the breakdown of ATP.

    ATP stands for Adenosine triphosphate. The pump is a trans-membrane protein and the function of sodium-potassium pump is (as its name shows it deals with potassium and sodium) to pump sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell.
