Consider a uniport system where a carrier protein transports an uncharged substance A across a cell membrane. Suppose that at a certain ratio of [A]inside to [A]outside, the AG for the transport of substance A from outside the cell to the inside, Aoutside → Ainside, is -12.1 kJ/mol at 25°C. What is the ratio of the concentration of substance A inside the cell to the concentration outside? [A]inside [A]outside 656275.63 Incorrect Choose the true statement about the transport of A under the conditions described. Increasing [A]outside will cause AG for movement of Aoutside to Ainside to become a smaller negative number. Decreasing the concentration of the uniport protein in the membrane will cause AG to become a larger negative number.

Nucleotides
It is an organic molecule made up of three basic components- a nitrogenous base, phosphate,and pentose sugar. The nucleotides are important for metabolic reactions andthe formation of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).
Nucleic Acids
Nucleic acids are essential biomolecules present in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and viruses. They carry the genetic information for the synthesis of proteins and cellular replication. The nucleic acids are of two types: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). The structure of all proteins and ultimately every biomolecule and cellular component is a product of information encoded in the sequence of nucleic acids. Parts of a DNA molecule containing the information needed to synthesize a protein or an RNA are genes. Nucleic acids can store and transmit genetic information from one generation to the next, fundamental to any life form.
