Question

which of the following best predicts the effect of not having atp available to supply energy to this process? h+ ions will continue to move through the protein in the original direction but at a slower rate. h+ ions will move in the other direction through the protein. h+ ions will begin to move through the phospholipid portion of the membrane in the original direction. h+ ions will stop moving through the protein.

Explanation:

This process appears to be an active - transport mechanism where ATP is used to move H+ ions against their concentration gradient through a protein. Without ATP, the energy - driven process will stop as active transport requires energy input.

Answer:

H+ ions will stop moving through the protein.
