The electrogenic sodium/potassium ATPase plays a critical role in cellular physiology by                 A. using the energy in ATP to extrude three potassium ions out of the cell in exchange for taking two sodium ions into the cell.                 B. using the energy in moving sodium ions out of the cell or potassium into the cell to make ATP.                 C. using the energy in moving sodium ions into the cell or potassium ions out of the cell to make ATP.                 D. using the energy in ATP to extrude three sodium ions out of the cell in exchange for taking two potassium ions into the cell.
