Atp Absorption Galactose Small Intestine Reduced Absorbing Cells

Respiratory inhibitors like cyanide prevent ATP formation, thus inhibiting active transport, which is necessary for galactose absorption from the small intestine.

Respiratory inhibitors like cyanide prevent ATP formation, thus inhibiting active transport, which is necessary for galactose absorption from the small intestine.

Front The absorption of galactose from the small intestine is reduced if the absorbing cells are treated with a respiratory inhibitor, such as cyanide. Suggest an explanation for this. ( 2 marks)
Back No ATP formed / no energy released by respiration;

Link ATP to active transport (of galactose) into cells;
