Which of the following statements about Ca2+ pumps is FALSE? Which of the following statements about Ca2+ pumps is FALSE? A. Calcium is actively transported from the cytosol into the extracellular fluid. B. It maintains low cytosolic calcium levels. C. The pump is also an ATPase. D. Calcium is actively transported from an organelle into the cytosol. E. It is a form of primary active transport.

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

Calcium is not actively transported from an organelle into the cytosol.

Calcium Pumps are protein pumps that moves Ca2+ back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum (a modified Endoplamic Reticulum) in skeletal muscle after each contraction. They belong to the ion transporters protein family.

In calcium homeostasis these pumps are basically ion transporters located on the cell membrane of all animal cells. They help to pump Ca2+ out of the cell to maintain electrochemical gradients across the cell membrane.

The pump on the the call membrane are Ca2+ ATPase (PMCA) and Sodium-calcium exchanger and they actively pumped out Calcium of cytosol •

The calcium pump has high affinity for Ca2+ but low capacity to push out Ca2+ where as NCX has low affinity for Ca2+ but high capacity to pump out Ca2+•

fire could start, buildings collapsing, and ash falling from the sky.

explanation:

this is because the buildings or plants could catch on fire and the buildings would most likely collapse. lastly ash would fall because all the burning would cause ash to fall from the sky.

hope this .
