____ [38]

Answer:

1) By breaking of ATP to ADP

Explanation:

In cell, the movement of ions across the membrane at the expense of energy is known as Active Transport. The energy is used in the form of ATP(Adenosine Triphosphate) that gets converted to ADP(Adenosine diphosphate) during transport. It takes the ions from high concentration to low concentration. ADP contains one less phosphate group that ATP, as their name indicates and plays a prime role in the flow of energy to the cells.
