Transport of ions and small molecules through a bacterial membrane pore requires energy from an ATP to ADP conversion.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transport of ions and small molecules through a bacterial membrane pore can occur through passive diffusion or facilitated diffusion, which do not require energy from ATP hydrolysis. Active transport, on the other hand, involves the use of ATP, but not necessarily through the conversion of ATP to ADP.
