In methanogenesis from CO₂ and H₂, the initial incorporation of H₂ requires a coupled gradient of which ion?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The initial incorporation of H₂ in methanogenesis from CO₂ and H₂ requires a coupled gradient of sodium. This gradient is necessary for the transport of H₂ into the cell and the subsequent use of the sulfur by the methanogenic pathway. Potassium, iron, magnesium, and molybdenum do not play a direct role in the initial incorporation of H₂ in this process.
