What is the role of ATP when large molecules need to be transported across the cell membrane against the concentration gradient?
1 answer:
Answer:
b. the bond between the phosphate groups is broken to release energy
Explanation:
- Phosphate groups are negatively charged => there is a pull between the two groups
=> it's easy to break this bond & ATP is unstable
=> ATP has a lot of free energy
- breaking the bond between phosphate groups makes the molecules more stable (aka contains less free energy)
=> delta G <0
=> breaking this bond releases energy
- the energy released by ATP is then used to transport large molecules against the concentration gradient
