Answer

The ATP molecule is necessary in this type of transport due to the particles are moving against the concentration gradient.

Explanation:

ATP is needed for many functions that require energy, and one of them is active transport across the cell membrane.

Unlike passive transport, where particles move along the concentration gradient, active transport -which uses the energy of ATP- is characterized by mobilizing particles against the concentration gradient.

The cell membrane is semi-permeable, so some substances cannot pass freely, requiring transporters to be able to pass through it.

Other options are not true for:

<em>     A. A charged particle can move through a channel specific to it. </em>

<em>     C. There is no particle entrapment in the plasma membrane. </em>

<em>     D. Particles do not move in favor of a concentration gradient.</em>

Which statement is FALSE about ATP? (A) Its concentration is maintained in part by adenylate kinase.(B) The concentration of ATP
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

(B) The concentration of ATP in cells is generally much lower than that of AMP.

Explanation:

AMP is 5’-adenylic acid or adenosine monophosphate. It has only one phosphate group attached to the sugar as compared to three phosphate groups of ATP. In general, cells have a much lower concentration of AMP than ATP. ATP is found in much higher concentration in cells than the AMP since ATP serves as energy currency for the cells while AMP is involved in relatively few metabolic pathways.

How are proteins related to the cell membrane
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Explanation:

Membrane proteins perform a variety of functions vital to the survival of organisms: Membrane receptor proteins relay signals between the cell's internal and external environments. Transport proteins move molecules and ions across the membrane. ... Cell adhesion molecules allow cells to identify each other and interact.
