You discover a new transport system used by a newly discovered bacterial species.The sugars that are transported using this system are phosphorylated as they enter the bacterial cell.You would describe this transport system as a(n)_____.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fact that the sugars are phosphorylated as they enter the bacterial cell suggests that this is a form of group translocation, which requires energy and involves the modification of the substrate during transport. Facilitated diffusion and passive diffusion do not involve the modification of the substrate, while micronutrient regulation is unrelated to the transportation of sugars.
