Glucose moves into red blood cells via facilitated diffusion using the glucose transporter. Glu transporter, also known as GLUT, is a uniporter. How does a uniporter work? (A Uniporter transports one solute at a time in the same direction. (B Uniporter transports two different solutes at the same time in the same direction. Uniporter transports two different solutes in opposite directions. D Uniporter transports two similar solutes at the same time in the same direction.

Why is it important that glucose be converted to glucose-6-phosphate once glucose enters a cell? Select one: a. This form is easier for cells to metabolize. b. The cells can easily excrete this molecule. c. Glucose can't diffuse out of the cell if it is in this form. d. It can now cross the plasma membrane. e. It becomes a long-term storage molecule for glucose.
would substances be able to pass through the plasma membrane if the phospholipi tails of the plasma membrane were oth satueated fatty acids? why or why not, explain?
Glucose transporter (GLUT) isoforms move glucose in and out of the cell GLUTS respond to the glucose equilibrium concentrations. Use your knowledge of enzyme catalysis and lonetics to predict which of the following correctly rank the steps in glucose transport by GLUT1? 1. Glucose binding results in a conformational change, opening the binding site on the opposite side of the membrane 11. Glucose binds to the transporter on one side of the membrane II. The transporter reverts to initial conformation IV. The glucose disassociates OA III, IV, III OB. 1,1,1, IV OCIV, II, II, I ODII, IV III OENI, LI
The contraction of cardiac muscle cells results from the increase in calcium ion levels in the cytosol. For the cells to relax, an antiport removes calcium ion from the cytosol for every sodium ion that is taken in. Digitalis is a drug that is used to make the heart contract more strongly. This drug partially inhibits the Na+-K+ ATPase in the cardiac cells. Applying the concepts about membrane transport, answer the following: a. Propose an explanation for the drug’s effect.b. What will likely happen if too much of the drug is taken in? Why?
A cell creates a H+ gradient across a membrane- in other words, a situation is created were the concentration of H+ is higher on one side then the other of a membrane. How can this H+ concentration gradient be used to do work (that the cells needs to do)?
K+ [Select] [Select] A Na+ Primary active transport is being shown by transporter [Select] which uses [Select] ATP [Select] B The transported molecules in this mechanism are being moved [Select] to move Glucose active transport is being shown by transporter [Select] which uses the gradient. Secondary to move against the gradient. When both the molecules move through a transporter in the same direction as in B, this type of transport is called antiport.
the movement of glucose across the cell membrane through facilitated diffusion is a form of passive transport because
Diatomic oxygen (O2) exhibits which of the following membrane transport movements? A. it is not able to cross the membrane by passive transport, because it is big, polar, and inorganic it is not able to cross the membrane by active transport, because it is big, polar, and inorganic it is able to cross the membrane by facilitated diffusion, because it is small, polar, and organic it is able to cross the membrane by active transport, because it is big, nonpolar, and organic it is able cross the membrane by simple diffusion, because it is small, nonpolar, and inorganic
Protein: glucose transporter, Role: Sugar transport across the plasma membrane. Where is this protein synthesized? Be as specific as possible and briefly explain your choice
Below are three statements - two of which are truths and one is a lie. Which of the following statements is a lie? Select one: a.The primary active transport uses external chemical energy. b.The sodium-potassium pump which is an example of primary active transport is considered as the most important pump. c. In primary active transport, the energy is derived secondarily from energy that has been stored in the form of ionic concentration differences between the two sides of a membrane.
As a cell grows its plasma membrane expands. Does this involve endocytosis or exocytosis? ATP is not directly involved in the functioning of a co-transporter. Why, then, is co-transport considered active transport?
If a skeletal muscle has depleted its stores of ATP how will the altered transport properties of the following transporters affect cytosolic ion concentrations (increase, decrease, no change) relative to normal?
