Summary Introduction

To determine:

The transport process affected by the inhibition of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) production.

Introduction:

Specific transport proteins known as carrier proteins and channel protein mediates the passage of small molecules across the membrane. The molecules move from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration in the case of passive transport. The transport of molecules against the concentration gradient takes place by active transport. ATP is used in this process of transport.

Glucose is transported across the cell membrane of intestinal cells. The cells lining the small intestine, however, rapidly move large quantities of glucose from the glucose-rich food into their glucose-poor cytoplasm. Using this information, which transport mechanism is most probably functioning in the intestinal cells? A facilitated diffusion B simple diffusion C osmosis D concentration gradient
During passive transport, substances will move across a selectively permeable membrane until… explain why    A. There is no longer any energy to be used   B. All solutes reach the other side of the membrane    C. There is no more room inside of the cell   D. Equilibrium is reached
The sodium-potassium pump helps to maintain electrolyte gradients through use of ATP. Which of the following best describes this type of transport? a. osmosis b. passive transport c. diffusion d. active transport
