What source of energy is used in active transport?

Energy for primary active transport comes from ATP molecules. ATP is produced by the mitochondria. e.g. Na+/K+ ATPases are archetypal primary active transporters and they transport 3 Na+ ions out of cells and 2 K+ ions into cells by hydrolyzing one molecule of ATP. Energy for secondary active transport is stored in an established concentration gradient of ions across the cell membrane and drives transport with the tendency of ions to move from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration. e.g. Na+/glucose secondary transporters use the Na+ gradient (higher outside cells than inside) established by Na+/K+ ATPases to transport a molecule of glucose along with a sodium ion into cells.


How is energy stored in respiration?

Chemical energy is stored in form of bonds


How does ATP work in a cell?

How ATP drives cellular work.Phosphate group transfer is the mechanism responsible for most types of cellular work. For example,(a) ATP drives mechanical work by phosphorylating motor proteins, such as the ones that move organelles along cytoskeletal "tracks" in the cell.ATP also (b) drives active transport by phosphorylating certain membrane proteins.And ATP (c) drives chemical work by phosphorylating key reactants, in this case glutamic acid that is then converted to glutamine. The phosphorylated molecules lose the phosphate groups as work is performed, leaving ADP and inorganic phosphate (Pi) as products.~AP bio student~


What provides the energy that drives the sodium potassium pump?

Adenosine TriPhosphate or "ATP". is used in weukaryotes and PMF i.e. proton motive force is a source of active transport. Energy is supplied directly or indirectly by ATP

When water molecules are split in plants where do the electrons and hydrogens ions go?

Electrons are used to replenish the electrons lost by the photosystems (electrons in photosystems are lost to the electron transport chain and eventually end up in NADPH). The protons are used by the proton pumps in the electron transport chain to create the proton gradient, which drives ATP synthesis.

What is transportation work?

"In transport work, ATP drives the active transport of solutes across a membrane against their concentration gradient by phosphorylating transport proteins". (Solutes are transported.) Save the animals!! :D


What are the physicalmechanical parts of a computer?

The only "mechanical" (aka moving) parts in your computer are your CD/DVD drives and Hard drives. RAM, Processor, and all other nifty doodads do not have any moving parts. Fans inside your computer are also physical mechanical.
