Question

If you start with 100 mM Na+ and 100 mM K+ outside the liposomes, and 100 mM Na+ and 100 mM K+ inside the liposomes like in (A), then you add ATP to the solution outside the liposomes, then how will the Na+ and K+ concentrations change?

Introduction-

Sodium potassium pump is a P-type plasma membrane pump in which with the help of ATP and energy source there is a movement of sodium and potassium ions in an opposite direction which flows against the concentration gradient. Initially, from the cell of the plasma membrane, there is a release of three sodium ions with two potassium ions as per a single cycle of the pump. Basically, this pump allows two potassium ions are move into the cell whereas three sodium ions to move out from the cell.
