a.
To determine: The type of transport required for the movement of oxygen across the capillary endothelium.
Introduction: The movement of gaseous substances from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration is known as diffusion. The membrane of the capillary is permeable to ions and other solutes present in the plasma.
b.
To determine: The type of transport required for the movement of proteins across the capillary endothelium.
Introduction: Transcytosis is a type of transport in which large proteins or molecules bind to the certain vesicles present on the cell. These vesicles transport and then release the molecules from one end to another.
c.
To determine: The type of transport required for the movement of glucose across the capillary endothelium.
Introduction: Facilitated diffusion and simple diffusion have same properties except for the fact that carrier protein is required in case of facilitated diffusion. Carrier proteins are large and complex proteins. They change their structure to bind and move molecules across the membrane.
d.
To determine: The type of transport required for the movement of water across the capillary endothelium.
Introduction: The movement of water from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration is known as osmosis. The process of osmosis is the same as simple diffusion except for the fact that diffusion is related to small soluble particles and gases, whereas osmosis is related to water.

- Molecular Biology Question You are working to characterize a novel protein in mice. Analysis shows that high levels of the primary transcript that codes for this protein are found in tissue from the brain, muscle, liver, and pancreas. However, an antibody that recognizes the C-terminal portion of the protein indicates that the protein is present in brain, muscle, and liver, but not in the pancreas. What is the most likely explanation for this result?arrow_forwardMolecular Biology Explain/discuss how “slow stop” and “quick/fast stop” mutants wereused to identify different protein involved in DNA replication in E. coli.arrow_forwardMolecular Biology Question A gene that codes for a protein was removed from a eukaryotic cell and inserted into a prokaryotic cell.
