Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Motor proteins use energy from ATP hydrolysis to generate movement along protein filaments such as microtubules or actin filaments. This energy conversion involves the conversion of chemical energy stored in ATP molecules into kinetic energy that powers the movement of the protein along the filament.
