  1. Figure 5.13 Primary Active Transport: The Sodium–Potassium Pump In active transport, energy is used to move a solute against its concentration gradient. For each molecule of ATP used, 2 K+ are pumped into the cell and 3 Na+ are pumped out of the cell. K+ Outside of cell Sodium– potassium pump Inside of cell Na+
