Question 7 • FL-2002040-M/J Comprehensive Science 1 CR

Which statement describes a similarity between the calcium pump and the sodium-potassium pump?

Answer
A
Both pumps move substances from high concentration to low concentration.
B
Both pumps only move substances into cells.
C
Both pumps require no energy to function.
D
Both pumps use proteins to transport substances across the cell membrane.

Explanation

Both the calcium pump and the sodium-potassium pump are membrane transport proteins. They use energy to move ions across the cell membrane, often against their concentration gradients. The statement that both use proteins to transport substances across the membrane is therefore correct; they do not both move substances from high to low concentration or only into cells.
