The first reason transport is energetically favorable is because movement of ATP and ADP concurrently through the antiporter is moving charged molecules WITH the electrical potential gradient and therefore exergonic. Briefly explain what establishes the electrical potential gradient between the intermembrane space and the matrix of the mitochondria, and which side is more positive relative to the other. Be brief.

- Uniporters and ion channels support facilitated transport across cellular membranes. Although both are examples of facilitated transport, the rates of ion movement via an ion channel are roughly 104 - to 105 -fold faster than the rates of molecule movement via a uniporter. What key mechanisticdifference results in this large difference in transport rate?What contribution to free energy (ΔG) determines the direction of transport?Name the three classes of membrane transport proteins. Explain which one or ones of these classes is able to move glucose and which can move bicarbonate (HCO3−) against an electrochemical gradient. In the case of bicarbonate, but not glucose, the ΔG of the transport process has two terms. What are these two terms, and why does the second not apply to glucose?
