💡 Explanation:
The Na+/K+-ATPase pump is a primary active transport mechanism crucial for maintaining the resting membrane potential and cell volume. It hydrolyzes one molecule of ATP to actively transport three Na+ ions out of the cell and two K+ ions into the cell, creating an essential electrochemical gradient.
