Hi,

I was wondering if I answered this question correctly

#1-Two kinds of cell-transport are used in the process that forms ATP. Name the two types of transport and describe how they take place. Electron transport is not a form of cell transport.

#1- I think the passive and active transports are used in the process that forms ATP and I was wondering if that is correct.

Thank you

Hi!

Your answer is partially correct. Passive and active transport are indeed two types of cell transport, but they are not directly involved in the process that forms ATP. Let me explain the correct answer and how to arrive at it.

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the main energy currency of cells. It is generated through a process called cellular respiration, which occurs in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells.

The two types of transport that are involved in cellular respiration are:

1. Electron transport chain: This process takes place in the mitochondria. It involves the transfer of electrons from high-energy electron carriers (NADH and FADH2) to molecular oxygen (O2). During electron transport, energy is released and used to pump protons (H+) across the inner mitochondrial membrane, establishing an electrochemical gradient. This gradient is then used to generate ATP through a process called oxidative phosphorylation.

2. Active transport of substrates: In order for cellular respiration to occur, glucose and other substrates need to enter the mitochondria. This is achieved through active transport, which requires the expenditure of energy in the form of ATP. Glucose and other molecules are transported across the mitochondrial membrane against their concentration gradient using specific carrier proteins. This allows the substrates to enter the mitochondria, where they are further broken down during cellular respiration.

To summarize, the correct types of transport involved in the process that forms ATP are the electron transport chain and active transport of substrates.

I hope this explanation helps clarify the correct answer for you! Let me know if you have any further questions.
