The sodium-potassium pump transports three sodium ions out of the cell and two potassium ions into the cell. Because these ions are moving against their concentration gradients, the sodium-potassium pump must expend energy in the form of ATP. This is an example of which type of transport?
Apoptosis
Filtration
Osmosis
Facilitated diffusion
Active transport
