What type of transport requires ATP to move molecules?

Muscle contraction , transport , nerve impulse conduction .


Is lon pumps an example of passive transport?

No, it is an example of active transport. Ion pumps, such as a sodium or potassium pump, use ATP for energy and pump ions across a membrane. The pumps are necessary because the ions are going against the concentration gradient (Low concentration to high concentration. Therefore, ion pumps are an example of active transport


Gas needed for electron transport chain?

The "gas" needed for the electron transport chain is Hydrogen. In the electron transport chain its not Hydrogen gas H2 but a Hydrogen Ion H negative that flows across the membrane to produce engery.


What ion is the most chemically reactive ion known?

The ion that is the most chemically reactive ion is known as a hungry wolf in the period table. Hydrogen ion is such a type of ion.


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 intrinsic protein is responsible for maintaining the H ion gradient?

Proton pumps as well as ATP synthase operating in reverse maintain the hydrogen ion gradient of a cell.


What would happen if the hydrogen ion pumps in the tiger's mitochondria stopped functioning?

The tiger would not be able to keep running


Is an ion channel a passive transport?

they are type of passive transports


What is the measurement of hydrogen ion concentration?

A measurement of hydrogen ion concentration is pH, which equals-log[H+], which is the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration (actually activity, but that is usually ignored). This quantity can be measured with a hydrogen electrode (as found in a pH meter), which is a type of ion selective electrode.
