Glucose breakdown in certain mammalian and bacterial cells can occur by mechanisms other than classic glycolysis.  In most of these, glucose 6-phosphate is oxidized to 6-phosphogluconate, which is then further metabolized by:

Which of the following structures would decrease the electrochemical gradient across a membrane?

#Question id: 2073

#Biochemistry

The phosphate transport system in bacteria imports phosphate into the cell even when the concentration of phosphate outside the cell is much lower than the cytoplasmic phosphate concentration. Phosphate import depends on a pH gradient across the membrane—more acidic outside the cell than inside the cell. In this bacterial cell, phosphate transport is an example of:

In some cells, there are many ion electrochemical gradients across the plasma membrane even though there are usually only one or two proton pumps present in the membrane. The gradients of the other ions are most likely accounted for by:
