D: the sodium ion was transported out of the cell with the use of
energy in order to set up the sodium concentration gradient. This gradient then
allows other molecules to enter the cell along with sodium’s re-entry. This is
active (because energy used), but secondary as it occurs as a result of the previous
active transport event.
