Q14: Which of the following proteins requires ATP for ts functioning
O active transporter protein
O passive transporter protein
O receptor protein
O adhesion protein
O recognition protein
One of the major representatives on the molecular level for maintaining homeostasis within the body is the active transport of molecules across cell membranes. This process requires energy because it is used to transport molecules against their concentration gradient.
Active transport is divided into two varieties according to the source of energy used, namely- primary active transport(the energy is derived from the breakdown of ATP) and secondary active transport(energy is derived from the stored energy in the ionic concentration differences between the two sides of a membrane).
