Membrane lipids can move laterally with relative ease, but flip-flopping between layers takes much longer. True or False? The potassium channel is specific for potassium and not sodium because the pore in the channel is not large enough to fit sodium. True or False? The direction of spontaneous calcium transport depends only on its concentration on both sides of the membrane. True or False?

A solution of water and dissolved ions is separated by a selectively permeable membrane that allows the passage of water but not small ions. The concentration of sodium is higher on one side of the membrane than onthe other side. However, there is no net movement of water across the membrane. How is this possible?
What is the correct rank the following molecules in regards to membrane permeability from MOST (1) to LEAST (4) permeable ? Each number can be used only once. Na+ (sodium ion) [ Choose ] [Choose] CO2 (carbon dioxide) 1 4 Glucose 2 H20 (water) [Choose]
Describe the plasma membrane calcium pump
In all human cells, there is a higher concentration of calcium ions outside of thecell than on the inside of the cell. Calcium pumps are primary active transportproteins that help to maintain this imbalance. Describe how calcium pumpswork, including the direction of ion transport and the source of energy of thecalcium pumps.
Does skeletal muscle, like cardiac muscle, have gap junctions between adjacent cells? Why or why not?
Assume that a membrane permeable to Na+ but not to Cl- separates two solutions. The concentration of sodium chloride on side 1 is higher than on side 2. Which of the following ionic movements would occur? a. Na+ would move until its concentration gradient is dissipated (until the concentration of Na+ on side 2 is the same as the concentration of Na+ on side 1). b. Cl- would move down its concentration gradient from side 1 to side 2. c. A membrane potential, negative on side 1, would develop. d. A membrane potential, positive on side 1, would develop. e. None of the preceding is correct.
Calcium plays a role in ____ because it allows the interaction between the plasma and vesicle membranes: a- Synaptic vesicle re-uptake b- Synaptic vesicle specialization c- Synaptic vesicle information d- Synaptic vesicle fusion with the plasma membrane
The intracellular salt content of a red blood cell is about 150 mM. The cell is put in a 500 mM salt beaker. (a) Describe what will happen to the cell in terms of osmosis if the cell membrane is permeable to water but not to ions. (b) Which direction would solutes diff use if the membrane was permeable to ions: into or out of the cell?
The distribution of water is determined by solute concentrations. A hypertonic solution would cause a body cell to shrink in size. Both statements are true. Both statements are false. The first statement is true and the second statement is false. The first statement is false and the second statement is true. Spaced practice question: Consider a membrane protein and its chemistry. Which of the following would describe a channel protein? It is an inorganic compound. It is an example of a globular (functional) protein. It is stable when exposed to an acidic environment. It is an example of a fibrous (structural) protein.
For each type of membrane transport, know the following:– Is a transporter protein required? If so, what type?– Is there an energy requirement, and if so, what is the energy source?– What is the relative rate of solute transport based on molecule type? On concentration gradient?– What are examples of the types of solutes transported by carriers and channels?
1) You are studying a transport protein. It appears to bind temporarily to the molecule to be transported. During normal transport, no energy is expended. The addition of a particular molecule that closely resembles the normally transported molecule inhibits transport. An increase in the concentration of the normally transported molecule in the presence of a constant concentration of the inhibitor increases the rate of transport. What kind of transport is described? 2) What are peripheral membrane proteins?
In cells, actin filaments form bundles or networks. How do cells form such structures, and what specifically determines whether actin filaments will form a bundle or a network?
