Summary Introduction

To complete: The given map showing the process by which the molecules move across the cell membrane.

Introduction:

The plasma membrane is selectively permeable, and it allows the movement of substances in and out of the cells. The two main types of transport are active transport and passive transport.

Answer to Problem 1CC

Fig. 1 shows the completed map of the process involved in the transport of molecules across the membrane.

Pictorial representation: The Fig.1 shows the movement of molecules between cells through the cell membranes.

Fig.1: The process involved in the transport of molecules across the cell membrane

Explanation of Solution

(a)

Correct answer: Active transport

Explanation: Active transport is an energy-dependent process in which the molecules are moved from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration against their concentration gradient, and it requires energy in the form of ATP. Hence, the correct answer is Active transport.

(b)

Correct answer: Concentration gradient

Explanation: The concentration gradient is the difference in the concentration of the solutes. Active transport moves the molecules against their concentration gradient, whereas passive transport moves the solutes along with their concentration gradient. Hence, the correct answer is Concentration gradient.

(c)

Correct answer: Small nonpolar molecules

Explanation: A molecule is said to be nonpolar when there is a symmetrical arrangement of polar bonds in a complex molecule or if there is an equal sharing of electrons between the two atoms. These small nonpolar molecules can diffuse across the membrane. Example: Oxygen and carbon dioxide are the two nonpolar molecules that can undergo simple diffusion. Hence, the correct answer is Small nonpolar molecules.

(d)

Correct answer: Facilitated diffusion

Explanation: Facilitated diffusion is a passive transport where the molecules diffuse across the plasma membrane with the help of the membrane proteins such as carriers and channels. This transport does not require energy, and it moves the solute down the concentration gradient. Hence, the correct answer is Facilitated diffusion.

(e)

Correct answer: Transport proteins

Explanation: Transport proteins are a type of proteins used to move the substances across the cell membrane. They are mainly of two types: channel proteins and carrier proteins. Channel proteins are used to transport ions in and out of the cell, and carrier proteins are used to transport macromolecules, ions, and small molecules by changing their shape or conformation. Hence, the correct answer is Transport proteins.

Consider the artificial cell experiment below: Lactose 2.0 M Ca+ = 0.4 M The ion channels in the membrane will allow Ca+ to pass freely, but nothing else. The starting conditions for the experiment are shown. Rewrite the following statement to make it correct: "The calcium ions will move across the membrane because ion channels allow active transport."

Name the three major assumptions made by the "Cell theory". (i) The lipid membrane is composed of lipid molecules. Explain the principle of membrane formation highlighting the role of the physical properties of the lipids. (ii) Comparing dimensions and length scales is often a first step in an analysis. Give an approximate value for the thickness of a lipid bilayer and the linear length of a helical turn of a DNA double helix. A technician wants to amplify DNA from a patient sample. However, the lab is not equipped with a thermocycler. (i) (ii) Name two methods for DNA amplification that can be operated at constant temperature and give their acronyms. Explain these two methods in detail using a schematic and name all necessary components that are required to perform the amplification. Describe the main function of the middle ear. Highlight the role of the ossicles and the tympanic membrane.
DO NOT COPY THE ANSWER FROM THE SAME QUESTION. Sassa, a biology professor, wanted to demonstrate to her students the applicability of a dialyzing membrane (DM) as a model for the cell membrane by enclosing an aqueous solution in a DM bag and immersing in a beaker containing a different solution. Substances available which are permeable to the DM include 0.02 M NaCl, 0.03 M glucose, and 0.01 M glucose. The only substance available which is completely impermeable to the DM is the 0.01 M lactose. Using the substances given and materials such as a beaker, stirring rod, and string, draw ONLY ONE set-up that can be demonstrated by Ms. Sassa that will satisfy ALL of the following conditions:a. No solute will exhibit a net diffusion out of the cell.b. Glucose will exhibit a net diffusion into the cell.c. NaCl will exhibit a zero net d. No net movement of lactose from the inside to outside of the cell. Make sure to label properly the substance inside the beaker and inside the DM bag.
