Question

How Does ATP enable transport proteins to move ions across a cell membrane? i got a F so excuse my uhm questions sorry peeps @tester97 @Whitemonsterbunny17 @Maddiebee_33 but i can help witg GEO lol

Answer 1

Since charged particles cannot move across the membrane easily due to them being hydrophelic, they require a transport protein that expends energy in the form of ATP. ATP attaches onto the transport protein which changes the shape of the protein allowing ions to flow in, and it leaves a phosphate group turning into ADP.When the molecule has crossed the membrane, the phosphate group is detached from the protein.

Answer 2

uhm i had like 2 lines i just put like Atp attaches down to it turns into ADP is that good? and thanks @Maddiebee_33

Answer 3

Sure, I wrote a lot. However, If your teacher is hard, you may want to elaborate more.

Answer 4

yea that's okay.

you can imagine the ATP as an electromotor that is turning a disc constantly. and the wheel can transport stuff along the membrane. I drew it for you.

Answer 5

but maddie explained everything correctly.

Answer 6

thank you both of ya

Answer 7

and nah she probably isn't lol i hope @Maddiebee_33

Answer 8

Well good luck :) Are you in FLVS
