What is the migration of phagocytes and white blood cells to an inflamed area along a chemical gradient is called?
chemotaxis
Is hydrogen gradient across the mitochondrial inner membrane a cellular energy currency?
ATP molecules are essentially cellular energy currency. The hydrogen gradient (or proton gradient as it is technically called) is responsible for the functioning of a protein complex called ATP synthase which in turn is responsible for the synthesis of ATP molecules. Therefore, the proton gradient is the driving force for the synthesis of ATP molecules.
What is the process that requires cellular energy to move a substance against its concentration gradient?
Active transport uses energy to move substances against the concentration gradient.
Transporter protein that carries a substance across a cellular membrane against its concentration gradient?
pump
A transporter protein that carries a substance across a cellular membrane against its concentration gradient?
pump
The generation of ATP by the movement of protons down their concentration gradient occurs in?
Cellular respiration.
What is A transporter protein that carries a substance across a cellular membrane against its concentration gradient?
pump
Which term describes the difference in the concentration of a substance across a cells membrane?
concentration gradient
Which is the process that uses oxygen and an electron gradient to make ATP water and carbon dioxide?
aerobic cellular respiration
What is the role of hydrogen ion gradient used for in cellular respiration in the mitochondria?
The hydrogen ion gradient is used to drive ATP synthesis. 32 to 34 molecules of ATP are produced. The hydrogen ion gradient is the result of NADH in the electron transport system of the mitochondria.
What is the scientific name for power from convection currents?
Trans-density migration motion via gravitational field gradient energy transferal.
A transporter protien that carries a substance across a cellular membrane against its concentration gradient?
Sodium potassium ATPase pump.
