The energy that pumps hydrogen ions (H+) against their gradient primarily comes from ATP hydrolysis. This process is facilitated by ATPase enzymes, which convert adenosine triphosphate (ATP) into adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate (Pi), releasing energy. Additionally, in some biological systems, energy can also be derived from the electrochemical gradient of other ions, like sodium or calcium, through secondary active transport mechanisms.
They differ mainly by their shapes but they are an integral part of the membrane itself. The ones that are channels are open in the center. They use no energy.The ones that are pumps do not have a free opening. Also these pumps use energy to allow them to work. This use of energy (ATP) causes them to move objects against the concentration gradient.
Concentration gradient is made first.Solar energy is used.
i dont not know so someone answer it soon please:(
They are both proteins that span the cell membrane - but the difference is in how they move substances/molecules/ions across. Channels, once open, allow things to move through them (down the concentration gradient from an area of high to an area of low concentration). Pumps come in many different varieties, but essentially they grab the substance and then change shape to allow it entry into the cell (instead of just opening and creating a gap). Some of these move things against their concentration gradient (from areas of low to high concentration).
As the gravitational potential is converted into kinetic energy by the object falling down the energy gradient.

By the action of electrons going down the electron transfer chain the energy is provided to pump H + into the outer lumen of the mitochondria creating the concentration gradient for H + to come down it's concentration gradient through the ATP synthase.
The extra energy in the excited electrons is used to pump hydrogen ions across the thylakoid membrane, creating a proton gradient. This gradient is then used to drive ATP synthesis during the process of chemiosmosis, providing energy for cellular activities.
Australia and New Zealand come to mind
No. The heart is an organ that pumps blood.
where does the energy used to establish the proton gradient across the thylakoid membrane come from? In other words, from splitting of water. well that's not what he said but there you go.
When you rub a match against a rough surface, friction generates heat that ignites the matchstick. The energy to start the fire doesn't come from nowhere; it comes from the mechanical work you do by rubbing the match against the rough surface, converting it into thermal energy to ignite the matchstick. This process still follows the law of conservation of energy.
The term Silver Pumps is actually referred to silver coloured pumps, or high heels. They are sold in many different stores, both retail and online, and usually come with a glossy coating to make them shine.
