Question
Protein pumps are proteins found in the cell membrane of most cells. These move hydrogen ions from low concentration inside the cell to higher concentration outside the cell.
Which of the following is necessary for this type of transport to occur?
Question 2 options:
energy as ATP
energy as fatty acid tails
energy as glucose
energy as starch

The transport described in your question—moving hydrogen ions from an area of low concentration to one of high concentration—is an example of active transport. Active transport requires energy to move substances against their concentration gradient.
Among the options provided, the correct answer is:
**energy as ATP**
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the primary energy currency in cells and is necessary for active transport processes, including the function of protein pumps.
