The correct answer is "transport proteins within the cell membrane pick up and release the minerals across the membrane".
Sodium and potassium travel in and out of cells with the help of sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphatase (or Na+/K+ ATPase). This is a transmembrane ATPase, meaning that it is an enzyme located in the cellular membrane of all animal cells. It works as a pump, by pumping sodium out of the cells while pumping potassium out of the cells.
