Solution

In a single pump cycle, the correct expectation is that 3 sodium ions leave the cell and 2 potassium ions enter the cell. This process is facilitated by the sodium-potassium pump, which is a type of ATPase that uses the energy from ATP to transport these ions against their concentration gradients. This is crucial for maintaining the electrochemical gradient that is necessary for nerve impulse transmission and muscle contraction.
