n all human cells, there is a higher concentration of calcium ions outside of the cell than on the inside of the cell. Calcium pumps are primary active transport proteins that help to maintain this imbalance. Describe how calcium pumps work, including the direction of ion transport and the source of energy of the calcium pumps.
