What are sodium potassium pumps?
The sodium potassium pump is where it pumps potassium inside a cell, and sodium out.
Why might animal cells burst?
One common reason for bursting is an imbalance in solutes such as sodium or potassium causing an osmotic pressure imbalance whereby the solvent water flows into the cell causing the cell to expand and burst. This is called a hypotonic condition.

How does sodium potassium pump help prevent cells from bursting?
The sodium-potassium pump transports more ions out of the cell than in. This increases the osmolarity of the cell's exterior while decreasing the osmolarity inside the cell (i.e. makes solution less hypotonic). This prevents the cell from bursting as it decreases the net flow of water into the cell.
What is the sodium-potassium pump?
the sodium-potassium pump is one of the most important carrier proteins in the animal cell.

How does sodium-potassium pump help prevent animal cells from bursting?
Cell spends most of the energy in keeping the potassium ion inside and sodium ion outside the cell. The osmolarity in cell and outside is same. So cell will not get bursted by this movement at all. But then cell will die if this pump fail to work. Chemically both the ions are almost same. Contributor failed to understand from more than thirty years that why cells like to have potassium ion inside and hates the sodium ion. The mystery remains unresolved.

Why do sodium and potassium not decompose?
potassium and sodium are elements.
