Which of the following describes the membrane potential maintained by the sodium potassium pump? The membrane potential is maintained by moving sodium ions extracellularly and potassium ions intracellularly.
The membrane potential is maintained by the passive transport of anions into the cell to create a diffusion force.
The membrane potential is maintained by moving potassium ions extracellularly and sodium ions intracellularly.

The membrane potential is maintained by moving sodium ions extracellularly and potassium ions intracellularly.

Explanation:

The sodium potassium pump (Na+/K+-ATPase) moves sodium ions extracellularly and potassium ions intracellularly. It is important that the gradient of osmotic equilibrium and membrane potential in cells is maintained.

b is the correct answer

essentially, one bacterial cell splits into two daugurer cells. bacterial offspring don't need or get care from their parents because they are in a sense their own parents. that said, some bacteria can and do depend on other bacteria especially in harsh environments such as bacterial microfilms in hot water tanks.
