Generation

The sodium-potassium pump is a protein in your cell membrane that actively maintains different ion concentrations inside and outside the cell by pumping 3 sodium ions out and 2 potassium ions in with each cycle. This process requires energy from ATP because you're moving ions against their concentration gradients—like pushing water uphill. The pump is essential for maintaining the cell's resting potential (electrical charge difference), which is critical for nerve signals, muscle contractions, and overall cell volume regulation. Without it, your neurons couldn't fire and your cells would eventually swell and burst.
