Why is the sodium-potassium pump considered an active transport? Which direction are the

sodium and potassium bing pumped? How many sodiums are being pumped? How many

potassiums are being pumped?

The sodium-potassium pump is active transport because it needs ATP/energy and it goes against the concentration gradient. The sodium and potassium are being pumped opposing its concentration gradient.

In a single cycle thee sodium ions extrude from and two potassium ions are brought into the cell.
