Construct an "energy story" that describes your understanding of how cellular cargo is moved about by motor proteins.
Construct an energy story that describes your understanding of how cellular cargo is moved about by motor proteins. BEFORE? In what form is the starting mailer? What is the energy source? What form is that energy n initially? How much energy is there? DURING? How is the matter transformed? What form(s) is it converted to? How are those conversions accomplished? How does work gets done? AFTER? In what form is the final matter Is there any energy left? In what form? How much?Explanation / Answer
Transportation of vesicle (that attached to kinesin) from - end to + end on microtubule requires ATP. Here, kinesin is the motor protein that using the energy released by ATP breakdown resulting the formation of ADP and Pi. I think, it produces 7.3 Kcal for each time. If you look at in figure, there is 2 ATP are hydrolyzed and in 2ADP+2Pi are produced. But ADP is not going to be hydrolysed for further to release energy. It means only ATP is the sole source for cellular cargo by motor proteins.
