Homework SourseWhy are primary active transporters many times called ATPase
Why are primary active transporters many times called ATPases?
| They often breakdown ATP to AMP and pyrophosphate (an ATPase activity). |
| ATP is synthesized during the reverse reaction and is named for that ability. |
| ATP is the universal currency to get work done in the cell. |
| They act as enzymes to release energy from ATP. |
| They must first bind to an ATP molecule before binding any transported molecule. |
Solution
Answer - ATPase act as a enzyme to release energy from ATP by breakdown it to get work done.so the answer is
(D) They act as enzymes to release energy from ATP
