It is called pumping because work must be done to move a positive ion from the negative inside of the cell to the positive outside, and it must go on continuously because sodium ions "leak" back through the cell wall by diffusion. a. How much work must be done to move one sodium ion from the inside of the cell to the outside? b. At rest, the human body uses energy at the rate of approxi- mately 100 W to maintain basic metabolic functions. It has been estimated that 20% of this energy is used to operate the sodium pumps of the body.
