Active transport is a cellular process in which molecules move across the plasma membrane against their concentration gradient, requiring energy in the form of ATP. One of the best examples of active transport is the sodium-potassium pump, also called Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase, which is essential for maintaining the electrochemical gradient across the cell membrane. The pump is an integral membrane protein that moves three sodium ions out of the cell and two potassium ions into the cell for each ATP molecule hydrolyzed. The process begins when the pump binds three sodium ions from the
