All the Following Statements Concerning the Na⁺-K⁺ Pump Are Correct

All the following statements concerning the Na⁺-K⁺ pump are correct EXCEPT which one?

A) The phosphorylated conformation of the Na⁺-K⁺ pump has high affinity for K⁺ when exposed to the ICF.
B) The Na⁺-K⁺ pump has ATPase activity.
C) The Na⁺-K⁺ pump establishes Na⁺ and K⁺ concentration gradients across the plasma membrane; these gradients are critically important in the ability of nerve and muscle cells to generate electrical impulses essential to their functioning.
D) The Na⁺-K⁺ pump helps regulate cell volume by controlling the concentration of solutes inside the cell to minimize osmotic effects that would induce swelling or shrinking of the cell.
