(a)
Interpretation:
Based on the information given in section 23.7, the expectation as how would the common metabolite
Concept Introduction:
Simple diffusion:
The moment of molecules move down the concentration gradient is known as simple diffusion.
Facilitated diffusion:
The moment of molecules against the (move up) the concentration gradient and changes the shape of the membrane is known as facilitated diffusion.
(b)
Interpretation:
Based on the information given in section 23.7, the expectation as how would the common metabolite fructose cross the cell membrane has to be given.

Concept Introduction:
Active transport:
The transport of ions in the cell membrane which does need energy which is carried out by certain integral membrane proteins, because the substances move against the normal flow of concentration gradients

Very briefly explain your answer. (arrow_forwardEicosanoids and endocannabinoids, which are hormone-like substances, are made from which fatty acid? ? a) kinetic acid b) oleic acid c) linolenic acid d) arachidonic acid Sphingomyelin differs from phosphatidyl choline in that: a) kinetic acid is absent in sphingomyelin b) sphingosine replaces glycerol in sphingomyelin c) sphingomyelin contains 2 choline molecules Which of these lipids contains no fatty acids? a) cerebrosides b) lecithin c) cholesterol d) plant oils Which of these is an ABC transporter? a) Na/K pump b) MDR protein c) Na/Ca antiporter d) Na/glucose symporter In an ion channel, the part of the channel protein which specifically binds to the ion is called: a) a voltage-gated channel b) a ligand-gated channel c) an antiporter d) a selectivity filter Symporters and antiporters may transport one chemical species against its concentration gradient. Energy for this is obtained from: a) ATP b) NADH via oxidative phosphorylation c)…arrow_forward
- The citric acid cycle contains four 4-carbon dicarboxylic acids. (a) Name them.(b) Arrange them in order from least oxidized to mostoxidized.arrow_forwardWhen the activated form of alcohol is used to synthesize glycerophospholipids, CDP-alcohol reacts with diacylglycerol to form glycerophospholipids. In this metabolic pathway, diacylglycerol is most likely produced by: a) Triacylglycerol lipase b) Phosphatidate phosphorylase c) Diacylglycerol lipase d) All of the above e) None of the abovearrow_forwardCyanide is a highly toxic molecule. It bonds to a cytochrome in the electron transport chain located in the mitochondria, rendering the electron transport chain useless. The ingestion of cyanide, therefore, results in death due to which of the following? a) Starvation, due to an inability to create glucose. b) Build up of lactic acid. c) Inability to take in oxygen through the lungs. d) Cellular death from lack of energy.arrow_forward
