DOK Level 2: Skill/Concept

Explain how the sodium-potassium pump works.

• It moves sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell using ATP.

• It moves potassium ions out of the cell and sodium ions into the cell using ATP.

• It moves sodium ions into the cell and potassium ions out of the cell without using ATP.

• It moves potassium ions into the cell and sodium ions out of the cell without using ATP.

DOK Level 2: Skill/Concept

Compare and contrast active and passive transport.

• Both require energy and move molecules from high to low concentration.

• Active transport requires energy and moves molecules from low to high concentration, while passive transport does not require energy and moves molecules from high to low concentration.

• Both do not require energy and move molecules from low to high concentration.

• Active transport does not require energy and moves molecules from high to low concentration, while passive transport requires energy and moves molecules from low to high concentration.
