Chapter 18, Problem 49P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Electroneutral exchange of H₂PO₄- for OH- is the same as electroneutral symport of H₂PO₄- and H⁺.

Concept introduction:

In the majority of inner membrane carriers, antiport transport occurs. Antiport transport is the process in which the exchange of one molecule for the other molecule occurs. On the other hand, symport transport is the transfer of molecules in the same direction. The charge differences in the antiport and symport transport will result inthe electrical transport process.
