Dr. bad has developed a way to damage the atp-binding cassette transporter (abc transporter) on a cell. the cell's abc transporter can no longer bind and use atp when it's transporting substances. which of the following statements best describes how this damage would effect the transport of substances in the affected cell? (choice a) substances at a low concentration outside the cell would be more rapidly transported into the cell, where there is a high concentration. (choice b) substances at a high concentration outside the cell would not be transported into the cell, where there is a low concentration. (choice c) equilibrium would be established between all substances inside and outside of the cell. (choice d) substances at a low concentration outside the cell would not be transported into the cell, where there is a high concentration.

The answer is; Choice D

ABC transporters are transmembrane proteins that enable active transportation of substances across the cell membrane. The protein is important in the movement of substances against their concentration gradient using ATP energy. ATP binding causes it to change conformation and bind the molecule being transported.

both anaerobic and aerobic respiration use glucose (or other carbohydrates), proteins and lipids to produce atp and nadh. cell uses those energy molecules, obtained from food and   breaks them down during the chemical reactions of respiration. in anaerobic respiration, nadh is regenerated to nad+ by enzymes lactate dehydrogenase (lactate is produced, e.g. in muscle cells) or by alcohol dehydrogenase where ethanol is produced (alcohol fermentation), while in aerobic respiration, electrons from nadh are deposited in the mitochondria to regenerate nad+ (electron transport chain. anaerobic respiration produces 2 atp per molecule of glucose compared to aerobic respiration where about 38 atp molecules are produced.
