ATP is the energy coin of the cell. In cellular respiration, ATP is mainly produced by the electron transport chain (ETC) which is coupled to a concentration gradient of protons in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

  • In this case, the organism above described CANNOT synthesize ATP by the electron transport chain (ETC) because it cannot generate a concentration gradient of protons (H+).  

  • Cellular respiration is a series of metabolic reactions used by aerobic organisms to generate ATP from foods and oxygen.

  • Cellular respiration consists of three stages glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

  • In oxidative phosphorylation, the ETC is coupled to the generation of an H+ concentration gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane, which is then used to synthesize ATP.

Which one of the following molecules would be most likely to travel by facilitated diffusion? A. sodium ions B. glucose C. oxyge
valkas [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is : the sodium ion and glucose both shows the facilitated diffusion.

Explanation:

Facilitated diffusion is form of diffusion of molecules of solutes with the help of transport proteins along their concentration gradient on the plasma membrane, however it is a passive transport as its does not require energy to move in or out of cell.

Oxygen can move through the membrane directly by simple mean of diffusion. however, Other molecules like amino acids, ions, glucose and many more need a integral pore, channel or transport molecule to pass through the membrane or with facilitated diffusion.

Glucose transporters involves to help in movement of glucose through the membrane along the concentration gradient it shows facilitated diffusion. Sodium ions also move through along concentration gradient by protein channels formed by transport proteins through hydrophobic membrane.

Thus, the sodium ion and glucose both shows the facilitated diffusion.
