B

ATP is hydrolysed by ATPase to release energy

C

Energy for `Na^(+)- K^(+)` pump comes from ATP hydrolysis

[A] : Poisons like cyanide inhibit Na^+ efflux and K^+ influx during cellular transport. ATP supply required for the Na^+ and K^+ exchange pump is stopped.

ATP is injected in cyanide poisoning because it is

Consider the following statements regading Na-K Pump 1. It utilizes ATP. 2. It acts on a resting neuron. 3. It invloves efflux of 3 Na^(+) per ATP. 4. It involves influx of 2 K^(+) per ATP. 5. Metabolic poisons stop the pump.
