sodium-potassium pump

 The sodium-potassium pump, which is also called Na+/K+ ATPase, transports sodium out of a cell while moving potassium into the cell.

ATPases are a group of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of a phosphate bond in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to form adenosine diphosphate (ADP). 

They harness the energy released from the breakdown of the phosphate bond and utilize it to perform other cellular reactions.

Harness:control and make use of (natural resources), especially to produce energy.
