Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the molecule that is most directly involved in the transfer of energy from food to the proton pumps. ATP acts as the primary energy carrier in cells and is used to power various cellular processes, including the pumping of protons across membranes by proton pumps. This proton pumping generates a proton gradient, which is then utilized for the production of ATP.

What does chlorophyll transfer to other plant molecules?
energy
Is energy transfer involved in every physical and chemical change?
No
How does the energy in a food chain transfer?
The energy in a food chain transfers through the organisms involved in it.
Does it take less energy to heat hotter water than colder water?
Yes, as the molecules of the hot water are already in motion, they need less energy to speed up and transfer it whereas the molecules of cold water need far more energy so that they get into motion and then transfer energy.
Organism that obtain energy directly from inorganic molecules?
chemoautotrophs
What is the transfer of energy as heat caused by the collision of molecules?
When molecules collide and there is a transfer of energy as heat, this is called conduction. When fluids of different temperatures transfer energy by movement, this is called convection.
What is the transfer of energy by heat caused by the collision of molecules?
When molecules collide and there is a transfer of energy as heat, this is called conduction. When fluids of different temperatures transfer energy by movement, this is called convection.
What is the transfer of thermal energy by molecules bumping into each other?
The transfer of thermal energy by molecules bumping into each other is known as conduction. Thermal energy is energy that comes from heat.
How does heat from a radiator transfer?
The heat energy from the radiator transfers that energy to the air molecules next to it. Those molecules then transfer that heat energy to the molecules next to them. This process continues until all the molecules are at the same energy level. This process is call conduction.
Why do water molecules retain heat energy?
Water molecules retain energy due to heat transfer.
What is radiation in heat terms?
Radiation is when no atoms or molecules are involved in the transfer of heat or energy. This is when energy can travel through empty space . Ex:sun heats earth through space;radiation.
What is the energy transfer process that does not require the presence of molecules to transfer heat?
Radiation
What is the transfer of the energy that occurs when molecules collide?
fusion
When molecules collide and transfer energy it is called what?
resonance
What does chlorophyll transfer to other plant molecules?
energy
How is the energy transfered when the object are in contact?
energy transfer occurs due to random collision of different molecules of the objects with each other,if the objects are of equal energy,there will be no detectable heat transfer,as molecules have same energy,but in between the objects having different heats the energy transfer occurs,due to the random collision of molecules with each other.
When a wave transfers energy what does it transfer through?
Vibrating Molecules
