Chapter 4, Problem 1E
Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Transport through a cell membrane is the movement of ions and molecules. It could be through passive diffusion or active transport. Sometimes, the molecules will show movement due to their net thermal motion. This movement is from an area of its higher concentration to an area of its lower concentration. The net force driving for these molecules is a chemical driving force. It drives them down the concentration gradient.

Answer to Problem 1E

Solution:

The correct answer is option (e) potassium ions and proteins are both located in greater concentration inside cells.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation/justification for the correct answer:

The correct option (e) potassium ions and proteins are both located in greater concentration inside cells. Potassium ions (K+) is more concentrated inside the cell than outside. Because the cell has more permeability for these ions along with the proteins. While Na2+ is more commonly concentrated outside the cell than inside. Hence, the option (e) is correct.

Explanation for the incorrect answer:

Option (a) potassium ions. These are present in more concentration inside the cell but along with the proteins. Hence, option (a) is incorrect.

Option (b) sodium ions. The cell is very less permeable to these sodium ions. So, these are present in more concentration outside the cell than inside. Hence, option (b) is incorrect.

Option (c) proteins. These are present but along with the potassium ions inside the cell. Hence, option (c) is incorrect.

Option (d) potassium and sodium ions are both located in greater concentration inside cells. The sodium ions are present in a large concentration outside the cell. Hence, option (d) is incorrect.

Conclusion

Thus, potassium ions and proteins are both located in greater concentration inside cells. Because the cell has more permeability for these ions along with the carrier proteins. Hence, option (e) is correct.

In a population of Jackalopes (pictured below), horn length will vary between 0.5 and 2 feet, with the mean length somewhere around 1.05 feet. You pick Jackalopes that have horn lengths around 1.75 feet to breed as this appears to be the optimal length for battling other Jackalopes for food. After a round of breeding, you measure the offsprings' mean horn length is 1.67. What is the heritability of horns length (h2)? Is Jackalope horn length a heritable trait? (4 pts)? 12pt v R Paragraph V BIU A श्र > B
There are many differences between DNA replication happening during mitosis in a Douglas fir tree growing in the Oregon Cascade Mountains and DNA replication happening during a PCR reaction in a forestry research lab at Oregon State University where the laboratory is amplifying a Simple Sequence Repeat. Complete the following table that compares the two DNA replication events in terms of the primers, the nucleotides, the polymerase, and the target sequence. Additionally, give a general value for the number of copies of the template DNA after one S phase in one cell and after the lab has completed the PCR reaction. Tree SSR Type your answer here: Primers Nucleotides Polymerase Target sequence Number of copies
