Question

what might happen if a cell did not have any atp? a it would not have enough energy to carry out active transport b its transport proteins would be made of carbohydrates instead c its cell membrane would no longer be semi - permeable d its concentration gradient would be steeper

Explanation:

ATP is the energy - currency of the cell and is required for active transport, which moves substances against their concentration gradient. Without ATP, the cell would lack the energy needed for active transport processes. The cell membrane's semi - permeability is not directly related to ATP availability, and transport proteins are made of amino acids, not carbohydrates. Concentration gradients are not directly affected by lack of ATP in terms of steepness in the way described in option D.

Answer:

A. It would not have enough energy to carry out active transport
