Questions and Answers
What is the mechanism by which ions are transported across the cell membrane?
What is the mechanism by which ions are transported across the cell membrane?
Ions are transported across the cell membrane through various mechanisms including passive diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and active transport using pumps and channels.
How do proton ATPase pumps function in plant cells?
How do proton ATPase pumps function in plant cells?
Proton ATPase pumps transport protons (H+) out of the cell, creating a proton gradient that drives various biological processes, including nutrient uptake.
Describe the difference between symport and antiport transport systems.
Describe the difference between symport and antiport transport systems.
Symport systems transport two substances in the same direction across the membrane, while antiport systems transport two substances in opposite directions.
