B

ATP is hydrolysed by ATPase to release energy

C

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

Na^+ - K^+ pump is found in membranes of many cells like nerve cells. It works against electrochemical gradient and involves an integral protein ATPase. At the cost of one ATP, ionic gradient across the resting member is maintained by Na^+ - K^+ pump by transporting
