Question

How does ATP enable transport proteins to move ions across a cell menbrane?

Answer 1

ATP uses the energy from ATP hydrolysis and moves ions across the membranes.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The mechanism of transportation of proteins and ions across cell membrane uses the ATPase that consume the energy from ATP hydrolysis and moves the small molecules across the cell membrane.
• The energy is used against a established electric potential or simply the chemical concentration gradient.
• This mechanism of transportation of ions is the example of active transport and a coupled chemical reaction.
