Question

the sodium - potassium atpase pump is an example of passive transport facilitated transport active transport

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The sodium - potassium ATPase pump uses energy (ATP) to move sodium and potassium ions against their concentration gradients. Passive transport doesn't require energy and moves substances along the concentration gradient. Facilitated transport is a type of passive transport that uses transport proteins. Active transport requires energy to move substances against the concentration gradient, which is what the sodium - potassium ATPase pump does.

Answer:

active transport
