Answer: ATP

Explanation:

ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) is a molecules which is considered as a main source of potential energy which is required by the cell for metabolism. The ATP molecule releases energy when phosphodiester bonds are broken in this process ATP is converted into ADP.

The molecules of ATP are produced by oxidative reactions occurring in the cytoplasm and mitochondria in which the process of cellular respiration takes place.

ATP. The potential energy is stored in the high-energy phosphate bonds due to the negative charges of each phosphate repulsing each other. Cells break the phosphate-phosphate bonds when they use ATP, so the released energy is used to do kinetic work.

agasfer [191]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

Protein carrier

Lipid carrier

Porin carrier

All of the choices are correct

Answer:

Protein carrier

Explanation:

The transport of molecules through diffusion can be passive or facilitated. The facilitated diffusion in which the molecules are facilitated to cross required tow type of protein channels which are the channel proteins and the carrier proteins.

The carrier proteins are the transmembrane proteins which are specific for ions and to transport the molecules change their shape of conformation. The change in the shape is responsible for the release of ions on the other side of the membrane.

Thus, Protein carrier  is correct.
