The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Sodium-potassium pump (Na-K) is a membrane transport protein that exchanges sodium ions (Na) for potassium ions (K). It transports 3 Na outwards for 2K into the cell, thus maintaining the differential concentrations of each ion across the plasma membrane. The process requires energy in the form of ATP, being a form of active transport.

Eurkaryotic Cells - Golgi Apparatus

The Golgi apparatus is also known as the Golgi complex or the Golgi body. The term is derived from Camillo Golgi, the scientist who discovered the organelle. It can be found in all eukaryotic cells, including plants and animals. They are membrane-bound organelles found in the cell's cytoplasm

Formation of acrosome: The acrosome is a component of the tip of animal sperms that aids in the digestion of the egg or ovum covering sheath during fertilisation. The Golgi complex produces it with the help of its vesicles.
