Which is an example of chemical to mechanical energy conversion that occurs in living organisms?(a) ATP-driven muscle contraction(b) ATP-dependent photon emission in fireflies(c) light-induced electron flow in chloroplasts(d) ATP-driven active transport across a membraneThe question was posed to me in semester exam.My doubt is from Phosphoryl Group Transfers and ATP in portion Principles of Bioenergetics and Glycolysis of Biochemistry |

Answer» RIGHT CHOICE is (a) ATP-driven muscle contraction The BEST I can EXPLAIN: ATP-dependent photon EMISSION in fireflies is an example for chemical to electromagnetic energy conversion. Light-induced electron flow in chloroplasts is an example for electromagnetic to electrical energy conversion. ATP-driven active transport across a membrane is an example for chemical to osmotic energy conversion. |
